The Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League has released their newest power rankings, and two regional teams cracked the top five.
After a couple weeks, outside the top five the Stratford Warriors jumped four spots to number five. The Warriors have won two in a row, and are 14-6 on the season which is good enough for second in the Western Conference. Stratford hosts Sarnia on Friday night at the Allman Arena before heading to Strathroy on Saturday.
The St. Marys Lincolns remain in the number two spot in the rankings. The Lincs have won their last two games, and are 16-3 on the season and currently sit first in the Western Conference. St. Marys hits the road twice this week, once against Listowel on Friday before heading to Elmira on Sunday.
The rest of the power rankings remained unchanged: Ayr sits first, with Fort Erie in the third spot and St. Catherines sitting in the fourth spot.
Sticking with the GOJHL, they have announced their performers of the week.
St. Marys forward Owen Voortman has been named the Western Conference player of the week. Voortman scored three goals, and three assists in three games last week. He's also tied for the league lead in powerplay points with 10. The Eastern Conference player of the week is Joshua Cacciola from the Welland Canadians who put up four goals and three assists in two games last week.
