In today’s issue (#217) I have my Big Ten and Atlantic Hockey power rankings. Also, teams are getting penalized for silly protocol violations, and a mailbag on the transfer portal and BU’s disallowed goal on Saturday.

Not all schedules are created equal. For the next few weeks, alternating weeks, I’m going to power rank every conference, and share some notes on each team. This does NOT take into account the current league standings. It’s a power ranking. Essentially, it’s a rank of where I believe teams will be at the end of the season based on their overall performance up to this point.

This week, I’ll rank Atlantic Hockey, the Big Ten, and the CCHA. Atlantic Hockey and the Big Ten will publish today and the CCHA power rankings will run in Thursday’s issue.
