By Mike Stackhouse

1-NIPAWIN HAWKS 28-5-2-2 (1)
Currently on a 17-0-and-1 run.  You can’t rank them any higher than first.

2-BATTLEFORDS NORTH STARS 26-5-2-0 (2)
Defending champs are unbeaten in eight.

3-MELFORT MUSTANGS 24-7-4-1 (3)
Addition of Ben Allen gives them the one ingredient they appeared to be missing:  a forward who can bust open a game.

4-NOTRE DAME HOUNDS 21-11-1-3 (4)
Not off to a post-Christmas resounding start, but will give them a pass…for now.

5-HUMBOLDT BRONCOS 20-13-3-2 (7)
All things being equal, a decent road trip last week.

6-ESTEVAN BRUINS 22-13-3-1 (6)
Two wins in four games since the break, but a noticeable improvement in goals against.

7-WEYBURN RED WINGS 20-13-4-0 (7)
Wings, Bruins, Broncos seem interchangeable on a weekly basis.

8-FLIN FLON BOMBERS 14-18-1-3 (9)
Don’t look now, but they’ve won five in a row and the feeling is that had Brenden Newton been healthy all season, they’d be in the mix for a top five spot.

9-KINDERSLEY KLIPPERS 15-15-2-2 (8)
Spinning tires a bit, the focus needs to be on home ice advantage in the Survivor Series.

10-MELVILLE MILLIONAIRES 13-22-0-2 (10)
Failed in their chance New Year’s Day to bury Yorkton.

11-YORKTON TERRIERS 8-26-2-1 (11)
They have moments where the compete level is high.  Then there are too many other moments like Friday where they give up 6 goals in a period.

12-LA RONGE ICE WOLVES 7-27-0-2 (12)
Losers of five straight, the playoffs don’t appear to be possible.
