Looks like the pre-season rankings of big 4 were accurate: SYB, FH, EE, NYK

Anyone else looking like a serious contender?

I would say SYB/FH are a tier above NYK/EE, EE being not impressive at all.

There is this thing called the standings shows who is doing well and who isnt. West Hill in 4th place would suggest they belong the top tier of teams. I guess Goulding Park belongs in the top tier as well since they should of beat the unbeatable Bruins

Standings mean nothing.
Playoffs is where the magic happens.

With it being a contact year. Game changer.

Playoff teams ? Dark horse.

Must admit Goulding Park is looking pretty good this year and should not be ignored.

WH played only 3 games against Top4 teams. Don’t get too comfortable up there.

The longer WH stays in the top four, the more the other teams should be worried. The trajectory of that team with 5 A players will be higher than any other. Compare that to Bruins who have three AAA players, definitely won't be improving at the same rate. It's a long game not a short one.

Hard to get a good read on Goulding Park when they can field a full roster with revolving suspensions.

West Hill hasn’t won against any of the projected top 4 yet but loss to FH was in last minute. Watched a couple of their games and hard to tell which kids came up from A.

Sorry. Meant “Goulding Park can’t field a full roster due to revolving suspensions”
