As always I include the INCH Power Rankings, because I find them highly amusing if at times down right silly. This week the boy’s from INCH didn’t disappoint me.
This week’s power ranking include this head scratchier, they have EZAC regular season champ UNION in second place of their power rankings. In what universe is Union a top ten team; they haven’t beaten anyone of national significance and UNION managed to lose twice to the last place team in the ECAC.
