Here are the new National Rankings.
The BCHL has 3 teams ranked in the top 15 in the country with Salmon Arm sitting 4th, Powell River hoping in to the rankings at 11th, and Victoria dropping to 15th. The AJHL hosts the top two teams in Canada.
This week’s bonus obscure CJHL team is the Couchiching Terriers (not the Couchiching Tigers as the rankings has them listed). The OJHL club has lost just a single game in regulation this season, are ranked 9th in the nation, and have scored 28 goals in their last 3 games while allowing just 6… not bad!
The Terriers were Canadian Jr. A Champions in 1985 and are based in Rama, Ontario on the banks of the Couchiching Lake and home of Casino Rama. Rama is 150 km North of Toronto.

So what makes the Terriers obscure?

Also, when the Terriers, then known as the Travelways, won their Centennial Cup in 1985, they defeated the Penticton Knights in the final.

Good Stuff Matt!
I couldn’t find out who they beat in the 1985 Final on the net, and sure enough it was the Vees, er… Knights!
As for the abstract factor… Well, with the Vees (and Panthers & Knights) playing just one team outside of the BCHL over the past 22 years, there are a lot of teams from around the country that people don’t know much about.
Each week in coinciding with the National Rankings we find a new team to talk about… Thus the ‘bonus CJHL obscure team of the week’!
