The Tier 1 Hockey Federation will be releasing KRACH rankings every week. KRACH rankings are a team’s win and loss ratio multiplied by the strength of schedule. Due to the THF playing an unbalanced schedule and some teams playing a full versus partial season, KRACH will fairly measure each teams rankings.
Teams will have the ability to move up and down rankings until January. The final rankings will include subdivisions with the teams eligible for a playoff spot.
The THF will release KRACH on the app weekly on Wednesdays and on the website on Friday. Thus KRACH was released, November 30 on our THF mobile app and today, December 2 on our website.
Be sure to stay tuned for your teams’ KRACH rankings as top teams will make playoffs and the subdivisions will be finalized in January.
