Division-2 is wide open going into the final week and requires the highest number of possible scenarios, giving Mitch the roughest of headaches. The race for the open division postseason seeding may extend further than the rest, as Connellsville and Knoch face off on Monday, Feb 25.

NOTES:  Any ties that are broken by the tiebreaker for penalty minutes (PIM’s) will not be declared until the team with the lesser amount finishes their season.

Division 2

Top 8 teams qualify.

Current Matchups: 

Trinity @ Burrell
Morgantown @ Ringgold
Central Valley @ Neshannock
Carrick @ Connellsville

Scenarios

No team can clinch on Monday, and there are complex scenarios that need Tuesday’s games to be completed to get it down to a reasonable number of scenarios. Neshannock can clinch the No. 2 seed with wins on Monday and Tuesday. The wins and penalty minute tiebreakers are too close to call with more than one game to go. Tiebreakers: Neshannock holds a 3-2 advantage over Ringgold, Ringgold holds a 4-2 advantage over Connellsville, Neshannock and Connellsville split the seasons series (Penalty minutes are currently 185-189 in favor of Connellsville). For the sake of time and number of scenarios, any overtime points and PIM’s will be adjusted as needed and are not involved in the current scenarios.
