The SJHL Source Embroidery power rankings for Oct. 6:
1. Notre Dame Hounds (6-0): They seem to be getting better with each victory.
2. Flin Flon Bombers (4-1-1-1): They lead the league by a wide margin in goals scored.
3. Melfort Mustangs (4-1-0-1): Despite being unbeaten in regulation in their last five, they tinkered with their goaltending last week.
4. Battlefords North Stars (4-1-1): Like the Mustangs, unbeaten in five, after that season opening loss.
5. Kindersley Klippers (2-0-0-1): Easy to forget about them as they’ve played just once since opening weekend.
6. Nipawin Hawks (3-1): The Hawks have, quietly, strung together three straight victories.
7. La Ronge Ice Wolves (2-3-1-1): Saturday night’s bombing in Flin Flon dampers what’s been a decent start.
8. Estevan Bruins (2-4): They’ve earned a split in their last four as they start to look comfortable.
9. Humboldt Broncos (2-4-1): They’ve added veteran in help in goal and they responded with a good offensive showing against Yorkton on Saturday.
10. Melville Millionaires (3-3-0-1): They moved out three goals and brought in two more, but it’s scoring that has been the issue as they are winless in four.
11. Yorkton Terriers (2-3-0-1): No wins since opening weekend and maybe rock bottom after embarrassing showing against Humboldt.
12. Weyburn Red Wings (1-5): Hard to call game six of the season a must-win, but the Wings needed to get in the win column and did.
