SOURCE EMBROIDERY POWER RANKINGS (Dec 23)

1-BATTLEFORDS NORTH STARS (2) 30-6-2
Stars enter Christmas on a three game win streak and back on top after a one week ouster.

2-LA RONGE ICE WOLVES (4) 21-14-2-2
Ice Wolves cooled off Flin Flon and posted a dramatic and improbable comeback against them on Saturday at the Whitney Forum, enter Christmas on a 7-0-0-1 run.

3-FLIN FLON BOMBERS (1) 23-8-5
A bitter end to the pre-Christmas schedule with the collapse against La Ronge and subsequent 0-and-2 weekend against the Ice Wolves.

4-YORKTON TERRIERS (3) 23-15-1
Petruic has another four goal game and then after being blanked on Friday against Weyburn, he posts four more points against Estevan on Saturday.

5-MELFORT MUSTANGS (5) 21-12-2-1
They may be the most defensively sound of the top five teams in the league, for that reason alone they need to be paid attention to.

6-NIPAWIN HAWKS (8) 18-16-2
A nice confidence booster against Melfort to end the pre-Christmas schedule.  Quietly, they are producing more offense over the last month.

7-KINDERSLEY KLIPPERS (6) 14-17-2-1
Tough loss against Notre Dame on the weekend that puts the two teams in a dead heat for the final playoff spot.

8-HUMBOLDT BRONCOS (7) 16-15-3-2
Broncos have dropped a pair but are beaten up with injuries, especially in goal where they debuted 16-year-old Brett Mirwald and he didn’t look at all out of place.

9-NOTRE DAME HOUNDS (10) 15-19-3-1
Encouraging road trip and a big win at Kindersley has them sitting tied for the final playoff spot.

10-WEYBURN RED WINGS (11) 14-20-0-1
Bus troubles didn’t prevent them from shutting down the high flying Terriers on Friday night.

11-ESTEVAN BRUINS (9) 13-17-2-1
Losses against the Hounds and Terriers in the final week before Christmas leaves lump of coal in their stockings.
