At the 2025 Canadian Sport School Hockey League (CSSHL) Annual General Meeting (AGM), the 37 CSSHL member programs voted in favour of using the MYHockey Rankings as the official standings for the 2025/26 season.
In a continued effort to adapt and reach its maximum potential, the CSSHL made MYHockey Rankings an official partner and supplier for the 2024/25 season, renewing this agreement for the 2025/26 season.
Originally launched during the 2003/04 season, MYHockey has long been using mathematical data, with no subjective weighting, to rank teams among leagues all across North America.
While CSSHL teams have always been included in these rankings, the 2024/25 season saw MYHockey compute a rankings system based solely among games played between CSSHL teams. These rankings were then used to reflect the standings for both CSSHL Ranked Showcases and the CSSHL Western and Eastern Championships.
“After extensive research and support from our member programs, the CSSHL is excited to renew our partnership with MYHockey Rankings,” said CSSHL COO Kevin Goodwin. “With the dynamic and size of our league our CSSHL member programs feel that MYHockey Rankings accurately reflect our standings.”
“MYHockey computes an average performance rating for each team based upon how well they play against other teams and how good those teams are. There are two real inputs to this rating, they are “AGD” or average goal differential and “SCHED” or strength of schedule. AGD is currently calculated by accumulating the goal differential of each game, to a maximum of 7, and then dividing it by the number of games played. The strength of schedule is computed by averaging the rating of each game opponent. AGD and SCHED are then added together to compute a team’s official rating. A team’s rating typically is not reflective of the team’s best or worst games, but a mathematically computed average performance rating that translates game scores into a numeric representation of team performance,” says the MYHockey Ranking’s website.
“The CSSHL is one of the premier leagues in North America. We are excited to renew our partnership with them on league rankings for the 2025/26 season. The CSSHL’s focus on player development and competitive games is a perfect fit with MHR’s performance-based algorithm. The league only rankings will be able to accurately take into account the CSSHL’s league scheduling to ensure teams are properly seeded for league playoffs at the end of the season,” said Neil Lodin, founder of MYHockey Rankings.
The first MYHockey Ranking will be made available to the public at the start of October, allowing for the implementation of the first few weeks of CSSHL gameplay. The rankings will then be updated every Wednesday morning for the remainder of the season and shared publicly to both social media and the official CSSHL website.
129 teams and more than 2,000 student-athletes will participate in more than 2,100 games across 8 divisions during the 2025/26 CSSHL regular season.
