If you’ve been following the Eastern Women's Hockey Hub, you know the rankings change fast. One win can push a team up three spots, while a loss might send them sliding down. That’s why staying up‑to‑date matters – whether you’re a player, a coach, or just a fan cheering from the stands.
How the Rankings Are Calculated
We use a simple points system: win = 2 points, tie = 1 point, loss = 0. Bonus points are added for goal differential and strength of schedule. The tougher the opponent, the more the win counts. All games from the current season feed into the table, and we refresh the list every Sunday.
Because the Eastern conference has a mix of colleges, clubs, and developmental squads, the system tries to level the field. If a lower‑division team beats a top‑tier opponent, they earn extra points that can catapult them into the upper half of the rankings.
Current Top Teams and Players to Watch
Right now, the New York Northerners sit at the summit with a 10‑2 record and a +25 goal differential. Their captain, Emily Rivera, leads the league in points – 18 goals and 12 assists. Close behind are the Boston Blizzards, who have a tighter defense but a strong power‑play unit.
On the player side, watch out for Sarah Kim from the Boston Blizzards. She’s a rookie, but already tallied 15 goals. Also, Jenna O'Leary of the Philadelphia Frost ranks third in shutouts, making her a goal‑ie’s nightmare.
These rankings aren’t set in stone. A weekend series against a rival can flip the table. Keep an eye on the weekly updates, especially after the Thursday‑Saturday matchups that usually bring the biggest point swings.

As a hockey enthusiast, I've been keeping a close eye on the professional hockey teams in California. In my opinion, the top three teams are the San Jose Sharks, the Anaheim Ducks, and the Los Angeles Kings. These teams have consistently proven themselves on the ice, boasting impressive records and making appearances in the playoffs. Each of these teams has also had their share of star players, adding to their overall success. I highly recommend watching these teams in action if you're a hockey fan in the Golden State!
