POWER RANKINGS presented 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 (1) -- We should just name them the Saints Rankings as they are the preeminent power in the league. Slight blip against Bonnyville is interesting this week.

2. Brooks Bandits (4) -- Winners of six straight and it is the Bandits emerging as the cream of the South division down the stretch.

3. Grande Prairie Storm (7) -- We were wrong to have them so low for so long.

4. Okotoks Oilers (6) -- A light week in the schedule. The Oilers are still in the hunt for first but they now need some help from other teams.

5. Sherwood Park Crusaders (3) -- Well there goes 2nd place. Oh well. At least the travel to St. Albert isn't that far. If it does work out that way it could be one heck of a series to watch.

6. Olds Grizzlys (5) -- The loss to Canmore is curious but other than that they had a decent week. They finish with three on the road. One of their players is supposed to be doing some work for therobbhunter.com later this week if their yappy radio announcer lives up to his end of the bet.

7. St. Albert Steel (2) -- Everything was lining up perfectly for the Steel. A chance to pass the MOB for fifth place when they get Fort Mac at home at the end of a long road trip for the Oil Barrons yet somehow the Steel blow it.

8. Calgary Canucks (8) -- An OT win against Drumheller and a split with Camrose. They never seem to win many in a row but they never lose that many either.

9. Bonnyville Pontiacs (12) -- They had been falling for a while and the possibility of a 6th place finish all of a sudden seemed very real but the Pontiacs turn it around with the biggest win of their year in Spruce Grove on Saturday and are able to follow it up with two more points against Lloyd to lock up home ice for the first round.

10. Camrose Kodiaks (11) -- The Kods can clinch 5th with a win tomorrow night in Drumheller. Will this team put all the pieces in place by the time the playoffs roll around?

11. Lloydminster Bobcats (10) -- This team will go as far as Bartel and Jagow can carry them. Those two might be splitting the MVP award at the Bobcats year end banquet. The only question is when will those dinner reservations be made for?

12. Fort McMurray Oil Barrons (9) -- Were Jordan Mirwaldt and Brad Stebner really healthy scratches Friday in Lloyd? The team does pick up a win on Monday when they needed it most and appear to have set themselves up for a rematch of last years second round series with Bonnyville.

13. Canmore Eagles (14) -- This young team has spunk. Adam Stephen gets the game winner against Olds.

14. Drumheller Dragons (13) -- Even Dr. House wouldn't be able to figure out where this team went wrong. They seemed so healthy at the start of the year it seems all we have to look forward to now are the post season autopsy results.

15. Calgary Royals (15) -- Only one more week left to worry about this season.

16. Drayton Valley Thunder (16) -- Did they really only dress 14 skaters against Grande Prairie?
