The SJHL Source Embroidery Power Rankings for the week ended Nov. 17:
1. Kindersley Klippers (17-3-1-2): Top team defensively and scoring more frequently and just one regulation loss in ten games.
2. Flin Flon Bombers (11-3-3-3): Not skipping a beat despite a bit of roster turnover this week. Beukeboom, Switzer and Kocur all paid immediate dividends.
3. Melfort Mustangs (13-4-0-4): The Sherwood Division pennant will be a battle all season long with the Mustangs and Bombers. Bombers won in a shootout this week, so they get the nod for now.
4. Notre Dame Hounds (13-5-1-1): The hottest team out of the gate was back at it again with four wins in a row before Saturday’s neutral site game loss to Humboldt.
5. Nipawin Hawks (12-5-1-2): Well disciplined, low goals-against, capable and timely scoring.
6. Humboldt Broncos (12-8-1-0): After a slow start, Marr & Fontaine are recapturing their late season magic from 2013-14 and the Broncos are a formidable foe once again.
7. Battlefords North Stars (13-4-4-0) : A real good record with improvement to come at home as well as on the power play.
8. Melville Millionnaires (11-10-0-1): The best team in the Viterra Division. At the moment, there are seven others better across the league.
9. Yorkton Terriers (7-10-1-2): Anxious to get home so they can snap a four game skid from recent road trip.
10. Weyburn Red Wings (6-13-3-1): All of their games are close and the team is close to turning some of these one goal losses into wins.
11. Estevan Bruins (6-13-0-3): There are glimpses of a turnaround, but does it make sense to sacrifice this season for the WCC host year?
12. La Rong Ice Wolves (6-12-2-1): One win in their last ten and none in their last eight. In danger of falling out of the race.
Who’s hot?
Gray Marr, Humboldt (5-4-3-7): It was just a matter of time before last year’s playoff star got it going.
Lynden Pastachak, Estevan (3-1-3-4): He has a chance to be their central figure next year if he continues to develop his offense.
Travis Mayan, Melfort (6-6-1-7): Offensive machine scored four more times last week.
Jared Martin, Notre Dame (4-4-5-9): Hounds seem to have different players take turns getting hot.
Dean Allison, Flin Flon (7-3-9-12): As soon as teams start to key on Rauckman, Allison
breaks out.
Owen LaClare, Kindersley (12-13-8-21): He’s been the SJHL’s best in the last month.
Jack Romanuik, Humboldt (2-1, 1.42, .951): Splitting time with Brock Hamm, Romanuik settling in nice in his new surroundings.
Evan Weninger, Kindersley (7-1, 1SO, 1.61, .954): Canada West can’t overlook this guy, can they?
Jack Burgart, Weyburn (2-3-0-1, 2SO, 1.72, .944): Hard to think where the Wings would be without him.
Logan Flodell, Nipawin (3-0, 1SO, 1.31, .954): One all-star goalie in Nipawin was enough for opposing teams to deal with. Now there’s two.
