CJHL releases its latest Top 20 Rankings
CALGARY, Alta. – The Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL) released Monday its latest Top 20 Rankings, for the period concluding Oct. 10.
Selected weekly throughout the 2021-22 regular season, the rankings are provided by an independent scouting service.
Coming in at No. 1 this week are the Ottawa Jr. A Senators (CCHL).
Heading into a Monday matinee on the final day of the Central Canada Hockey League Showcase, the Jr. A Senators boast a 6-0-0-0 record in the 12-team loop.
Slotted second and third nationally are the Georgetown Raiders and Trenton Golden Hawks respectively, of the Ontario Junior Hockey League.
Both clubs are unbeaten to begin play in the OJHL to date and are among the perennial leading organizations in that league that boasts 21 teams in the current campaign.
Tabbed fourth in the latest CJHL listings are the Truro Bearcats (MHL).
Truro has yet to taste defeat early on in the Maritimes and dating back to last season, the Bearcats have won 14 straight match-ups.
Meanwhile, the Timmins Rock (NOJHL) round out the Top 5 in the weekly rankings.
They have yet to lose in regulation so far in northern Ontario having gone 6-0-1-0 among the dozen squads that compete out of the NOJHL, and adding in last season, have picked up 27 of a possible 28 points in their past 14 contests.
