What a past week of hockey! There were blowouts, and there were close fought games. We had the chance to go see East Grand Rapids vs Grand Rapids Catholic Central and could not believe the amount of fans and the intensity of the game. West Michigan is without a doubt a great hockey area full of great hockey teams. Here is the rankings for our fifth week of hockey coverage. Let us know what you think and feel free to compare it to last week.
1.)Grand Haven (10-2) OK Conference Tier 1
What a week Grand Haven had this week as they found a way to cruise to two wins in their three games . Their first win was over Hudsonville 11-4, their second win was against against East Kentwood 4-3. Their loss of the week was against Portage Central with the score ending up 2-1. Their great week leap frogs them back into first place.
2.) Grand Rapids Catholic Central (9-2-1) OK Conference Tier 1
The Cougars also had a great week last week as they beat Grandville 5-1 in their first game this past week, and willed themselves to a win in our game of the week against East Grand Rapids by a score of 2-1. They continue to show their dominance this year.
3.) East Grand Rapids (7-4) OK Conference Tier 1
After losing 2-1 in a close game against Grand Rapids Catholic Central on Friday night, East tried to turn it around against Grand Rapids Forest Hills Eastern/Northern on Saturday, but got creamed 8-2.
4.) Kenowa Hills (9-3) OK Conference Tier 2
A 4-2 loss Friday to Monroe didn’t slow down the Knights for long as they bounced back with a 4-3 win against Grandville.
5.) Forest Hills Eastern/ Northern (8-4) OK Conference Tier 1
The Husky/Hawks handed East Grand Rapids a resounding defeat as they poured on 8 goals on their way to a 8-2 victory.
6.) Mona Shores (5-5) OK Conference Tier 1
Hosting, and winning, the Konrad Memorial Hockey Tournament this weekend was a great way for the Sailors to keep climbing upward after a sad start to the season. Their next game will be against Traverse City St. Francis at Lakeshore Sports Center at 2:00pm on 1/21/12.
7.)Rockford (6-6) OK Conference Tier 1
With a 1-2 win against Grandville and a 0-4 loss against Monroe last week, Rockford stays at .500.
8.)Lowell-Caledonia (9-1) OK Conference Tier 3
Lowell-Caledonia just keeps rolling this year. Can anyone in Tier 3 stop them?
9.)Jenison (8-4) OK Conference Tier 2
Jenison has improved nicely so far this season and will look to continue improving when they play Manistee at Georgetown Ice Center on Saturday. The game is at 5:30pm.
10.)East Kentwood(6-6) OK Conference Tier 2
East Kentwood struggled this week as they lost twice. Their first loss was at the hands of Mona Shores and the second loss was at the hands of Grand Haven. They will try to do better against Reeths Puffer on the thirteenth of January
Honorable Mention
11.) Hudsonville (4-7) OK Conference Tier 2
Losing twice this past week, 11-4 against Grand Haven and 3-6 against FHC, is exactly what Hudsonville didn’t want to do. Having a double loss week keeps them down in the standings for another week.
12.) Grand Rapids Forest Hills Central (4-7) OK Conference Tier 2
Another win and another loss keeps Central towards the bottom of the pack this week. Their win over Hudsonville was quite impressive however as they double the Eagles points on their way to a 6-3 victory.
13.) Northview/Comstock Park/Sparta(6-3-2) OK Conference Tier 3
The Cats got another win this week, but they will still need a few more to move back up in the standings.
14.)West Ottawa (5-7-1) OK Conference Tier 3
After their nice 9-2 win against Hudsonville, West Ottawa tried to right the ship this week but were beaten down by Flushing and Davidson. They will hope to get another win on Friday when they play Madison Heights Bishop Foley on Friday.
15.) Grand Rapids West Catholic/Cedar Springs (3-8) OK Conference Tier 2
Can anyone say ouch? A three loss week killed GRWC/Cedar Springs as they plummet to the bottom of the rankings this week.
