As of now it looks like here will be three co-favorites for the state title: Ignatius, TSF, and Upper Arlington. Upper Arlington and Ignatius have split a two-game series, each side winning 2-1.
Iggy is the favorite for a reason.As of now it looks like here will be three co-favorites for the state title: Ignatius, TSF, and Upper Arlington. Upper Arlington and Ignatius have split a two-game series, each side winning 2-1.
Completely agree!Pretty crazy how quickly Columbus has become competitive. Complete non-factor at the state level 5 years ago.
Population and money. It's the only growing region in the State and competitive hockey is a big investment. Couple that with a professional team in the city that draws a lot of young eyeballs and the sport has really exploded down there.Pretty crazy how quickly Columbus has become competitive.

(Sorry to reply to my own postCompletely agree!
I think TSF, SI, SE are better than each team in the Columbus Region, but as a whole, they are more competitive than the other three regions (Brooklyn, BGSU, Kent).
The fact that there is 4-5 solid teams in the Columbus Region will make it very exciting hockey to watch earlier in the Regional Tournament, compared to the other regions where the real action starts in the semifinals or Regional Championship.
Guessing to get a look at some guys for system depth.Cats played a lot of kids from the white team tonight and won in OT. Not sure why no Elwell. They'll need him in the playoffs.
Played frosh Galluci who scored two goals. Cabanes, Mihavlic, Jalics, Roche. No Elwell, Miller, Marziani. Forsythe at D. Ignacio at C. Not sure what they're doing. Glad they won. In Coach O I trust.![]()
Can't imagine they even stay close with DCC. We'll see about the others.Big weekend for the Cats starting tonight vs. DCC, the top ranked team in MI
Should be a good test for them
Not bad at all!Surprised they only lost 3-1.
It took forever, but at least some change is coming to the district tournaments.MAXPREPs does not like Iggy or SFDS but it is wrong. MHR is much more accurate on how Ohio stacks up heading into the postseason. MAXPREPS is used for seeding this year.
Still will come down to Iggy vs Ed's, Gilmour vs US, Liberty vs UA, and Northview vs SFDS

CVCA guy here.It took forever, but at least some change is coming to the district tournaments.
It's not ideal, but its way better than what we have been seeing.
As for MaxPreps, some of the rankings are puzzling.
Avon Lake & Westlake over Padua???...No Way
CVCA over Gilmour???...No Way
Roosevelt over Shaker???...No Way
Would like to see them make the brackets based off of MyHockey Rankings instead of MaxPrepsYa in Ohio hockey record means very little. Look at who the top teams play and then look at who teams with few losses play. It's apples and oranges. Everyone knows the top teams and they are fairly accurately depicted in MHR.
