Overall: 15-7-0-1

(+4) 5th – Niverville Nighthawks

This week: 2-0
Overall: 10-9-0-1

(-2) 6th – Portage Terriers

This week: 1-1
Overall: 16-4
Impressive Player: Defenseman Brandon McCartney – 2GP/2G/2A/4PTS
Proved they can win the tight games as much as they can win the high scoring ones. A stinger at home will remind them they can’t take nights off.

(-1) 7th – Winkler Flyers

This week: 1-0-1
Overall: 13-5-3-1

Right on the cusp of taking that jump into the upper tier of the MJHL. Will look to be more consistent as a road heavy schedule continues.

(-1) 8th – Waywayseecappo Wolverines

This week: 1-0
Overall: 10-4-3-2
Impressive Player: Forward Carson Baptiste – 1GP/2G/0A/2PTS
Not fair to move down in the rankings as they only had the one game to play which turned out to be a win. Couple games in hand now on teams around them in the standings.
Up Next: Nov 18th @ Winkler, Nov 19th vs Winkler, Nov 22nd @ Neepawa

 


(+3) 9th – Virden Oil Capitals

(+1) 10th – Selkirk Steelers

This week: 1-1
Overall: 4-12-3-1

Proving to have no quit, the Steelers are a hard team to beat on any given night, which is a big improvement from where they started the year.
Up Next: Nov 18th @ Niverville, Nov 19th vs Niverville

 


(-1) 11th – Neepawa Titans

This week: 1-0-1
Overall: 7-11-4

Nice scoring outburst of late, putting up 15 goals combined in the last three games. Lots of hockey coming up to close out the month with 6 games to end November.
Up Next: Nov 18th @ Virden, Nov 19th vs Virden, Nov 22nd vs Waywayseecappo

 


(-1) 12th – Winnipeg Blues

This week: 0-1-1
Overall: 6-11-2-1
Impressive Player: Forward Thomas Kaufield – 2GP/3G/1A/4PTS
Putting up good numbers goal wise of late, combined with solid goaltending should start to lead to more success for the Blues and the 6 remaining games in the month.
Up Next: Nov 18th @ OCN, Nov 19th @ Swan Valley, Nov 22nd vs Winkler

 


(-) 13th – Winnipeg Freeze

This week: 0-2
Overall: 2-16-1
Impressive Player: Defenseman Evan Stirling – 2GP/1G/0A/1PT
Struggling to get shots is limiting any possible offence. O’Sullivan is doing all he can to give his team a chance every game.
