Breaking Down Top-25 Team Resumes

About this episode

Craig Peterson analyzes the volatile movement in the Top-25 hockey rankings and discusses a potential playoff format for Michigan high school hockey.

Heading into holiday break, we completely tear down and rebuild the Top-25 Rankings with some volatile movement among top teams. Cranbrook hockey up 11 spots?! Houghton hockey falls out of the Top 20?? That, and much more as I go team-by-team breaking down each of their resumes and bodies of work thus far this season.Plus, we'll do a little role playing with what I believe to be the best potential playoff format for Michigan high school hockey and how that would look at present day.Petey's playoff format: https://youtu.be/BM_lZhfXsrs?si=NIKWgaZpYRlgOaDY&t=1765 Top-25 Rankings: https://peteyspicks.com/teams/
