It was Belle Tire's world last weekend and everyone else was just living in it. Congrats to them on a big win at the Bauer World Invite. Number one SSM continues to be the best Bantam team in the country. Their unbeaten streak is gaudy. One expert in Chicago said of the Sabres, "they just won't lose...period."
Compuware also earned its way into the T10...they were solid all weekend. Great team defense and goaltending compliments a few top end scorers. CW is the type of team that could beat SSM (one out of ten times).

Despite losing to Thunderbirds, Little Caesars remains number 1. Birds keep moving up our poll each week. We really liked the team from North Jersey, they can defintely walk like a man in Tier 1 hockey. A lot of high end talent on that squad.
The Minnesota Blades and Team Wisconsin are bonafide top ten teams. This will be the final week in the T10 for the Blades (their season is over)...and we will put TW on the back burner until they resume in the Spring. Both of these teams proved that they can compete with the top T1 teams in America all "before" season long.
