CHL Power Ranking Poll for December 31

Posted on by

ODESSA, Texas – The final CHL Power Ranking Poll of 2008 shows very little change again.   In fact, two of the top teams survived losses to a team from the lower third of the poll.
 
The Odessa Jackalopes found their way to the third spot in our poll after losing to the Scorpions of New Mexico on Sunday.
 
Divisional leaders have solidified their places while the rest of the league searches for traction on the ice and in the standings.  
 
Tulsa was the first club to make a coaching change this week when they fired Dan Hodges.   General manager Taylor Hall was appointed interim bench boss for the Oilers until a full-time replacement is named.
 
Where will the next coaching change be made?
 
Pro Hockey News wishes all of its readers a happy, safe and healthy New Year and 2009.
