No. 1 Saint Thomas improved to 3-0 after taking out Merrimack, 4-3. Following a trip to Maine for a holiday tournament this week, the Saints face D1 Bishop Brady then look to host Oyster River in a game that’s always competitive.
Improving to 2-2 is No. 2 Dover. The Green Wave shutout long-time rival, Spaulding, 7-0. They’ll take on their second Division 1 opponent when they travel to Windham after the break.
No. 3 Merrimack gave St Thomas a fight but fell short 4-3. The Tomahawks rebounded with an 8-1 win over Timberlane. Eliot Medlock’s 8-point week must be encouraging for Merrimack. They’ll travel to take on D1 Keene in the always rowdy Keene Ice Center.
With no games this past week, No. 4 Winnacunnet stays in the fourth spot. Somersworth/Coe-Brown will be a test for the Warriors coming out of a long layoff.
No. 5 Oyster River took care of business with a 6-0 win over Portsmouth-Newmarket. They’ll be looking ahead to a battle with top-seeded Saint Thomas when league games resume.
Two wins this past week for No. 6 Somersworth/Coe-Brown move them up a spot. The Bearcats beat Spaulding 4-1 and had an impressive 5-2 win over Goffstown to close out the week. They’ll be facing Winnacunnet next in what could be the most intriguing game of the week.
No. 7 Goffstown dips two spots after dropping a 5-2 game on the road to Somersworth/Coe-Brown. Now sitting at 1-1, they’ll get Spaulding and Timberlane in the next two games.
Staying in this week’s rankings is No. 8 Alvirne. Having had no games this past week their record sits at 1-1. D1 Nashua South and Merrimack are the next two challenges for the Admirals.
