Anyone want to take over for bored Md dad and do meaningful rankings that aren’t bought and paid for like USCL?

Objectively, it’s a little hard to stomach seeing a MadLax team that’s lost its last two contests to NL ranked four spots higher (#7 vs. #11). No beef with the Hawks’ #4 ranking. They are a legit, complete team. But leaving the HoCo champion (NL) out of the top 10 is a huge slight to the league and the NL program.

If the algorithm ran for just 2022 calendar year, NL would be top 3. Those fall numbers are knocking them down a few slots and anybody that has played them know they are very good and getting better at the right time. Summer is where all this will play out. There are about 8 teams that could win any tournament at this age group, surprising amount of parity.


NL would not be Top 3. They are lucky the Hawks had Covid and weren’t there in the end. NL already lost to the Hawks earlier in the season. And last season. And in tourneys last summer. Can’t wait to see how they do up in Delaware this weekend

Sure. NL is "lucky" that "the Hawks had Covid." Lol. I'm guessing that this is *not* coming from a Hawks parent who watched the regular season HOCO game between NL and Hawks when both teams were at full strength. That was an OT win for Hawks in a game that NL probably should have won in regulation but didn't manage the clock well. No excuses. A loss is a loss. But implying that a full-strength Hawks would have rolled NL in the HOCO championship is just silly.

Not associated with either of these teams, but this is correct. NL and Hawks are pretty close. Both great at FOGO and goalie.
