2002-3 US U17 Tier 1 Hockey Computer Ratings
last updated November 12, 2002
Link to last year's (2001-2002) final rankings
2002-2003 Scores - these scores are what the ratings are based upon. The top two thirds of the file has all scores
dual entered and sorted by team, the bottom third lists all scores sorted by date.
Please email only unlisted scores that involve at least one team that is already listed in the ratings below
to usmidgetaaa@yahoo.com. All scores must be in the proper format.
It is not helpful to e-mail saying that x-x-x is not your real record as the record listed is generated from the
scores listed, it is helpful to send properly formatted missing scores. Scores against non US Midget AAA
competition are not needed for the rankings but are sometimes used.
Follow this link for a description of how the ratings program works, how to interpret them, and what the column
headings mean.

How good are these rankings? How do they compare to other rankings? See a description of past successes
for this algorithm ranking amateur hockey teams here and a comparison to other midget rankings here.
NOTICE:
Some of the rated teams are not eligible for USA Hockey Nationals for various reasons that
may include overage players or other District requirements.
e.g.
Northern Mass - not in Mass Select League, therefore not included in Mass District Playoffs.
Boston Little Bruins - not in Mass Select League, therefore not included in Mass District Playoffs.
Bruins AAA - not in Mass Select League, therefore not included in Mass District Playoffs.
Cape Cod Whalers - some players older than USA Hockey Midget age.
Minnesota teams - Only SSM allowed to register as Tier I Midget by their District (most others also have overagers) .
Minnesota Blades - an elite team of mostly 87's that plays midget aged teams.
These teams will be removed from the rankings sometime after their season concludes, which
happens in early November for many of them.
If possible, and with your cooperation (reporting scores in the required format),
these rankings will be updated regularly throughout the season.
As of October 22, the number of reported scores required for a team to be listed in the ratings has
been increased from three to six. Teams with fewer are still listed on the scores page and those scores
are still used in creating the ratings.
