The game happened during the 02-03 season. Neither my daughter or I could remember the score but we think it was 2-1.

Ok, WAS , not WHAT IS, hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, me thinks I'd best wear my glasses when I'm on this site, regardless of the 22" HD screen.

Speaking of Miss Bouchard and torches:
Jess Bouchard, a junior at Tabor Academy and a native of St. Constant, Quebec had the opportunity to participate in the 28,000 mile 2010 Vancouver Olympics torch relay.

Trips down memory lane are not a bad thing!! IMHO I don't think there was any reason to edit.

Re: New England Prep 2009-2010
Agree. However, now that I have officially reached an age that is the same number as an Alaska highway speed limit , I wasn't comfortable trusting my memory on the specifics considering remembering the actual score was fuzzy at best.
I hope all the players and parents out there are enjoying every minute of prep school hockey and making memories of their own. Time passes way too quickly not to soak it all in.

Re: New England Prep 2009-2010
Question from a rookie 'round these parts: how does the NEPSAC D1 seeding process work and what does that suggest for the playoffs? Thanks!

Re: New England Prep 2009-2010
Seeding process for D1 works as follows:
Step 1 - Overall Record
Take each D1 team's overall record against NEPSAC teams. Do not include games against teams such as the Polar Bears or other club teams, and do not include games against prep school teams that are not part of NEPSAC such as Northwood, Culver Academy, etc. Rank them by winning percentage, 1 through 22 or whatever number of teams there are.
Step 2 - D1 Record
Same as step 1, except, exclude all games against NEPSAC D2 schools such as Rivers, Brooks, etc. Rank them by winning percentage, 1 through 22 or whatever number of teams there are.
Step 3 - D1 Record against teams with D1 records of .500 or better
Using the records from Step 2, note which teams finished with a record of .500 or better. Only games against those teams count for this metric. Take the winning percentage and multiply it by the number of games played against all D1 teams. (yeah, when I first heard this step, it made my head hurt, but take me literally, I got it right). The resulting percentage may look really weird for some teams. A team has a 5-0 record against D1 teams with records above .500 who played a total of 20 D1 games will have a resulting percentage of 2000% (no typo). Rank the result of this "weighted" percentage 1 through 22 or whatever.
Step 4 - Average rankings to determine final rank.
Now take each teams rank for the three categories, and average the three ranks. So, if a team was 2nd in Step 1, 3rd in Step 2, and 4th in Step 3, the average rank for this team would be 3rd. Compute the average rank for all teams and rank the result from 1 to 22 or whatever.
Teams 1-4 have earned a home game for the quarterfinals, unless the driving distance is greater than 2 1/2 hours between the two schools in which case a neutral site will be agreed upon by the coaches and NEPSAC officials. Note that last year, Berkshire waived this and agreed to travel to Nobles despite there being a qualifying travel distance for a neutral site.
D2 uses pretty much the same formula, except that there are four rankings.
Overall NEPSAC Record
Overall D2 Record
D2 Record against D2 teams .500 or greater
Record against D1 teams.
Possible that I may have missed a detail or two, but I think I pretty well nailed it. I'll be computing the results in my own Excel file during next week, and I'll be happy to post my results.

Wow - thanks for the primer.
In an effort to minimize the strain on computing resources, I will not attempt to duplicate your spreadsheet. I look forward to seeing your analysis.

Re: New England Prep 2009-2010
I also do the spread sheet magic, and for the most part I agree with your rankings. I have 1 thru 10 the same , but have Berkshire & Williston tied for 5th, and Hotchkiss & Pomfret tied for 9th. Whatever, it's close.
Things that matter in this last week:
Choate @ Hotchkiss tomorrow is a big game for the lower rankings. I don't think a Choate loss will knock them out of 1st, but a Hotchkiss loss practically eliminates them.
Winchendon has 3 D1 games between now and Sat, 2 against teams that are on the bubble, Williston and Pomfret (the 3rd is Exeter). Winchendon is currently 5-4 against D1 teams. Should they lose all three, Berkshire and Brewster lose power points in 3rd ranking.

Re: New England Prep 2009-2010
Looks like Winchendon lost two of its last three games. They have now gone below .500. They play Pomfret and if they lose as Slug79 suggests how does this affect the standings for Brewster and Berkshire?
Winchendon 2 Exeter 5
Winchendon 0 Williston 4

Re: New England Prep 2009-2010
Winchendon losing two this week really hurts Pomfret. Pomfret gains nothing in the power poll by winning today. Also, going into today's games there are two other teams that are below .500 by one game, Loomis and St. Pauls. Loomis is playing Deerfield, St. Pauls is playing Lawrence. If any one of the three sub .500 teams win, it could changes the rankings rather dramatically.
This morning I have the following:
1. Choate (1/1/1)
2. Nobles (3/3/2)
3. Brewster (2/2/5)
4. Williston (5/5/3)
5. Westy (4/4/6)
6. Berkshire (5/6/4)
7. Lawrence (7/7/9) tie
7. Tabor (8/8/7) tie
9. Pomfret (10/9/8)
10. Hotchkiss (9/10/11)
Three polls:
1. D1 and D2 record only
2. D1 record only
3. D1 record against teams with a record of .500 or better (there are currently only 10), multiplied by the number of D1 teams played (not number of D1 games)
