Hockey is really starting to heat up the cold winter month of January. In this past week, our number one team from last week stumbled again, and other teams took this opportunity to climb the ranks and seat themselves higher in the standings. What will this week’s games hold? Will other teams step up this week to try and take the top spot? Let us know what you think!
1.)Grand Rapids Catholic Central (10-2-1) OK Conference Tier 1
With Grand Haven’s two losses opening the door to the top spot this week, the Cougars took the opportunity to take back the top spot. With 5 goals in both of their games, Catholic Central won both matches easily.
2.) Forest Hills Eastern/ Northern (10-4) OK Conference Tier 1
The Husky/Hawks are looking very good as the season goes on. With a win against Grand Haven this past week, they showed they have what it takes to take down our top teams and claim the number one spot.
3.)Grand Haven (10-4) OK Conference Tier 1
Grand Haven had a tough week this week as they lost two games. The first loss was to Forest Hills Northern/Eastern, and the second loss came at the hands of Grand Rapids Catholic Central. This tough break drops them down this week to the third spot.
