KIJHL's Toughest Division

We are about 25% through the season, and I thought it would be interesting to see which division is the most difficult to play in, statistically speaking. I'm doing this because I believe the Eddie Mountain Division is the hardest division right now. Four of the teams are above .500, plus Kimberley and Fernie are 9-2-0-1. So let's put this theory to the test. (This only includes games played up until October 20, so last nights games are not included)

I'm going to rank each division according to three categories: Win Percentage, Points, and Power Ranking.

Win Percentage (add up the Winning Percentage of the five teams in the division)

  1. Eddie Mountain - 2.859
  2. Okanagan - 2.714
  3. Neil Murdoch - 2.713
  4. Doug Birks - 2.588
Points (add up the Points earned by the five teams in the division)
  1. Neil Murdoch - 81
  2. Doug Birks - 74
  3. Okanagan - 73
  4. Eddie Mountain - 71
Power Rankings (add up each Ranking of the team using the Power Rankings)
  1. Neil Murdoch - 49
  2. Doug Birks - 50
  3. Eddie Mountain - 55
  4. Okanagan - 56
So by looking at that ordering the following is the toughest division: Neil Murdoch
The weakest division is: Okanagan

Eddie Mountain and Doug Birks are tied for second. I blame Columbia Valley for making our division appear not as strong as it is (They rank last in the Power Rankings, worst Winning %, and have earned the least amount of points this season).

So it appears that my hypothesis is incorrect! At this point in the season, the Neil Murdoch division is the most difficult to play in.
