NIHL 2013 Seeding Round Predictions: PeeWee

By CAYH Editor

The seeding round prognostication experiment continues with the PeeWees. If you want to know a little bit about how we came to this list, check out the post on Squirts. Skip all the mumbo jumbo and know this - about 10% of teams move up or down.

Please recognize that there are still 1-3 games to be played that will alter the final outcome. How do we decide who makes the cut?

1. Points from wins and ties are the first factor that decides a team's placement in the table. 
2. In the event of a tie in points, the goal differential decides position.

I'll skip with detail of what happened last year, and give you the summary:

Gold Seeding Round

11-16 points - Elite
5-10 points - Gold A
4-5 points - Gold B
0-3 points - Silver Tier 1

Silver Seeding Round

12-15 points - Gold B
10-11 points - Silver Tier 1
2-9 points - Silver Tier 2
0-2 points - Bronze Tier 1

Bronze Seeding Round

14-16 points - Silver Tier 2

Recognize that there are 11 more PeeWee teams this year, and they have to go somewhere and that makes last year's breakdown a little difficult to use as a guide. Here is the CAYH Hockey Blog's prognostication for the 2013 regular season brackets at PeeWee.
