Nominating Coach: Doug Little
Player Name: Tyler Little
Team: Saugerties Mustangs
Age Level: 14U
Division: Gretzky
Player Jersey Number: 26
Position: Forward
I submitted a scoresheet change request this morning to reflect Tyler’s assist on our second goal. Down several players for this game, Ty stepped up and was a major factor in our comeback win. Rye was playing a very solid game, and they were up by 2 for most of the game. Tyler sparked our comeback with some strong forecheck plays that led to his first goal, created the turnover for our second goal, had a number of other chances, and made strong plays away from the puck and on the PK. The OT goal he scored was a result of an amazing play by our center to put the puck in space for him. He won the race to the puck on the far wall, got the puck to himself from behind his back, chipped the puck to himself to get by the defender, and shielded the backchecker from making a play while he went in on goal and scored the winner against the grain, going over the goalie’s shoulder from in tight at the top of the crease for the winner. I try hard to be real careful about nominating my son for awards. However, in this case, he put the team on his back a couple of times with strong plays on the forecheck, and I was very proud of him as a player and a dad. Thanks for considering this. I will ask one of our assistant coaches to keep tabs on assists for future games so we do not submit as many change requests. I haven’t worried much about that in games before signing scoresheets because there is a lot going on, and I do not expect the refs to get secondary assists correct most of the time. I try not to get hung up on that but will track on our end and update the sheet before signing.

Team: TI North Stars
Age Level: 14U

The Atlantic Hockey Federation (AHF) is excited to announce the release of the first KRACH rankings for the 2024-25 season. As teams hit the ice and competition heats up, the KRACH system offers a clear view of how teams are performing, based on both their win/loss record and the strength of their opponents.

KRACH, short for Ken’s Ratings for American College Hockey, is a statistical model that adjusts team rankings by factoring in not just wins and losses, but also the difficulty of a team’s schedule. This makes it one of the most balanced ways to measure team performance across divisions. A team’s KRACH ranking is essentially a multiplier of their win/loss ratio and their strength of schedule.

The AHF KRACH rankings will be updated weekly, with new rankings available every Monday night at 5 pm. Teams and fans can view the full list of rankings on the AHF Game Center. To learn more about how KRACH works, click [here].
