ODESSA, Texas – Another week in the Central Hockey League brings another shift in the top spot in Pro Hockey News’ CHL Power Ranking Poll. This week the Colorado Eagles supplanted the Blazers from Oklahoma City at the top of the poll. The difference this week is the goal differential for the Eagles with a 1.933 differential versus 1.733 for the Blazers.
Enough to push the Eagles over the Blazers.
The Laredo Bucks have made a big push over the past two weeks and this week the Bucks are now in fourth place in our poll with a bullet. Meanwhile, the Jackalopes in Odessa have cooled off a bit but remain strong in the poll.
Once again the bottom five teams in the poll remain in the same positions in week over week assessments. None of the bottom half of the league have found sufficient traction to move up in the poll and challenge the top of the CHL. A quick look at the goal differential shows the problems facing the bottom of the CHL.
Enjoy this week’s CHL Power Ranking Poll and have a safe and happy holiday.
