POWER RANKINGS presented this week by Everything Ink Design Company

Power Rankings on TheRobbHunter.com are compiled by a panel of media members who follow the AJHL and are based on a combination of last week's play and a squad's overall outlook. Last weeks rankings are in ().

1. Spruce Grove Saints (2) -- Jordan Draper scores with just over 30 seconds to play on Friday night in a win over Grande Prairie and the Saints score 6 in the third period in a come from behind win over the Cru on Tuesday. Just another average week for the Saints.

2. Sherwood Park Crusaders (1) -- Here by default as none of the other nearby competitors put in stellar weeks to overtake them. Giving up a 5-1 lead against Spruce Grove hurts.

3. Olds Grizzlys (7) -- Winners of 5 straight the Grizz are the hottest team in the South. Brance Orban was the best skater at the All Star game and their 11 rookies are playing like anything but rookies.

4. Okotoks Oilers (6) -- Seem to always find a way to beat Brooks the Oilers need to find a way to take down Olds this week. Their season series wraps up on Wednesday and the Grizzlys have beaten the Oil four times this year.

5. St. Albert Steel (8) -- Hottest team in the league the Steel are getting great goaltending from Scott McInnis, solid work from their blueline and Bryce Williamson continues his torrid scoring pace with the help of the league's youngest all star Daniel Carr.

6. Brooks Bandits (3) -- Continue to pick up the odd win with their top two D-men out of the lineup with injuries. The Bandits will hope for a speedy return for McDougall and Markiewicz as they have a busy three game week.

7. Grande Prairie Storm (4) -- Came within 40 seconds of at least earning at least a point against Spruce Grove but this team has now lost 4 of their last 5 with the only win being against Drayton Valley.

8. Camrose Kodiaks (5) -- A pair of 6-2 losses, a line brawl and the all star break over shadow the return of Shawn Ostrow to the lineup.

9. Fort McMurray Oil Barrons (9) -- After two tremendous victories in Grande Prairie the MOB enter the all star break with two losses down South.

10. Calgary Canucks (11) -- The Canucks go 1-1 this week and probably would have vaulted the Oil Barrons if not for their loss to Canmore. What a performance from Aaron Dell at the all star game.

11. Drumheller Dragons (13) -- Beat Lloydminster at home and now have only one loss in their last five games.

12. Lloydminster Bobcats (10) -- A disappointing loss in what was almost a must win game on Tuesday in St. Albert. The Cats are now 10 points back of the Steel and appear destined for seventh.

13. Bonnyville Pontiacs (13) -- The Pontiacs get a favour with the MOB losing both their games in hand and are precariously hanging onto 4th place in the North but need bodies back in the lineup for a three game southern trip this weekend. It's not a guarantee that any of their injured will be ready though.

14. Canmore Eagles (14) -- The Eagles are flying high after ending January on a two game winning streak. It's just too bad they lost the previous eight.

15. Calgary Royals (16) -- We are going to move the Royals up to 15th because they now hold 4 games in hand on Drayton Valley. They need 1 point in those four games to tie the Thunder in the standings. There is no John Taveras prize at the end of this race though.

16. Drayton Valley Thunder (15) -- Their February schedule is scary. Three against Grande Prairie, two with Fort Mac and one each with Sherwood Park and Spurce Grove.
