Salisbury 4 @ Hotchkiss 2 -- Salisbury, 4-2 losers to Hotchkiss on Tuesday, was back at it 24 hours later. And this time Salisbury switched the script, winning by an identical 4-2 score behind a two-goal game from senior Zachary Gill (2g). Junior Greyson Espenshade (1g), a Yale commit, and  junior Elliott Bibeau-Rivard (1g) also found the back of the net. Both Hotchkiss goals were scored by junior Ty Higginbotham (2g). In net, Salisbury soph Christian Capone (34/36) edged Hotchkiss junior Neilan Johnson (22/26). The four goals allowed by Johnson is his season high.

Playoff Projections

Over the weekend, we posted our crash course on RPI, JSPR, and playoff seedings. Today, we're going to go over playoff projections -- a feature we developed here at USHR to help predict where teams may finish at the end of the regular season -- along with some concrete examples (note: live real-time projections for RPI, JSPR, and for the Elite 8 and Large/Small school tournaments can be viewed under the "Playoffs" dropdown menu).

How it works: We first calculate RPI and JSPR up to the current day and hour, and then, for each gameday remaining in the regular season, rerun the calculations, feeding the results back to the future -- i.e., the next set of scheduled games -- until the end of the season is reached. We’re essentially playing the season forward from the present into the most likely future using the current strength of each team as the basis.

Now, let's get into the real world. How do the teams currently in playoff contention look heading into the final week of the regular season?

King(s) of the Hill

Salisbury and Dexter are virtual locks for the top two seeds in the Elite 8, with Salisbury having the edge over Dexter for the #1 spot, provided that the former wins out, which will be no easy task given that they have back-to-back games today and tomorrow against fellow potential Elite 8 opponent, Hotchkiss. Whichever way the top two seeds land, it's almost certainly going to be Salisbury and Dexter leading the pack.

I am a Lion, Hear Me Roar

St. Mark's has a relatively easy finish to the regular season, with a game tomorrow against BB&N, and the season finale against archrival Groton. Assuming they win their two remaining games, the Lions should be set for the #3 or #4 seed.

Winged Beavers Grounded

If momentum were taken into account in JSPR, Avon might not even be in the Elite 8 conversation, having lost six straight down the stretch. However, despite their recent woes, Avon's resumé is solid due to going 14-1-1 prior to the losing streak. With three games left on their schedule -- home games against Canterbury, Pomfret, and Loomis -- the Winged Beavers have a chance to take flight again, perhaps moving up to the #3 seed, and, more importantly, going into the playoffs with the kind of momentum we expect from a team of Avon's caliber. Otherwise, further loss(es) could send them lower still, but falling out of the Elite 8 entirely seems an outlier case.

Muddy Waters

Moving into the middle of the pack, it's really anyone's guess at this point.

Hotchkiss, were they to take down Salisbury, and even better, do so twice, would launch themselves higher, perhaps into the #4 spot, while in the unlikely event that the Bearcats were to lose their final three games, they could fall out of Elite 8 contention. Tabor, on the other hand, is solidly placed, and likely guaranteed a spot in the Elite 8, but has less potential to move much higher, the #4 spot probably being their ceiling. KUA, with a potential matchup against Holderness in the Lakes Region playoffs, could solidify their case for a spot in the Elite 8 with a win over the Bulls this weekend. Finally, St. Seb's, barring a letdown in their final two games, should be able to hang on to the #8 seed, but that could depend on what happens with best of the rest.

Best of the Rest

Among those on the outside looking in, Holderness has a solid chance to move up, as the potential game against KUA could allow them to sneak into the Elite 8 were they to win that crucial contest. Similarly, Belmont Hill is projected to lose against Tabor, but if they flip the script that would give them a huge win over a top team, which could be enough to get them over the hump. For Winchendon, Cushing, Thayer, etc. it's looking like it will be too little too late, unfortunately.

Small and Large School Tournaments?

Even more volatile is the Elite 8. For example, a Large School team that's evicted from the Elite 8 will almost certainly take the #1 seed in the Large School tournament, thereby evicting the bottom team since seeding is determined entirely by RPI. Basically, we'll know everything we need to know regarding the small and large school tourneys once the Elite 8 picture becomes clearer.

Should be an exciting finish to the 2025-26 season, enjoy the games!

RPI, JSPR, Seedings: a Crash Course

It's that time of year again.

With one week left in the regular season, and the top teams in prep hockey continuing to battle for playoff position, it's a good time to review how playoff position is determined. (If you're not conversant with the system, please refer to the "Playoffs" dropdown menu to see current RPI and JSPR standings, along with up-to-the-minute playoff seedings for the Elite 8 and Large/Small school tournaments.)

First off, in order to understand how NEPSIHA playoff seedings are determined, we need to provide the origin story for the ranking system used here at USHR. Prior to the 2012-13 season, playoff seedings were ultimately made by committee, using a less-refined version of today's system.  At the end of the regular season, the committee, made up of selected coaches, would gather and seed two separate tournaments -- Division I and a Division II -- and parse game results to determine, by meeting's end, playoff seedings. Discussion could get wild and wooly. It was also an opaque system, meaning teams would enter the final week of play making a lot of educated guesses as to where they might ultimately land. 

To avoid the annual playoff meeting drama, which would have been exacerbated by the elimination of Division II and the incorporation of all its teams into Division I, it was decided that the fairest approach would be to move to a pure statistical model. This need led to the creation of JSPR -- an algorithm similar to the Pairwise Power Rankings -- that was developed here at USHR by Taft and Carnegie Mellon graduate Jeremy Philipson.

What is JSPR? It's an algorithm. That is, a sequence of logical steps that lead to a result.

JSPR's foundation is the RPI (Ratings Percentage Index), which provides a snapshot of each team’s strength compared to that of every other NEPSIHA team. To determine any given team’s RPI, we calculate the winning percentage -- using the formula $(win+(tie/\; 2.0))/(win+loss+tie)\; --$ in three phases, each weighted accordingly:

Phase 1: Team Winning Percentage (25%) -- A direct look at how a team performs in its own games.

Phase 2: Opponents' Winning Percentage (21%) -- A measure of how well your direct opponents have performed.

Phase 3: Opponents’ Opponents’ Winning Percentage (54%) -- Essentially, the overall strength of a team’s schedule.

Using these three phases, we apply the RPI formula:

The Comparison Criteria:

With the RPI tallied, we proceed to JSPR, which consists of four criteria used to compare the top 16 teams by RPI against each other:

Head-to-head results: Did the two teams actually play each other during the season?

RPI Comparison: How do the two teams compare when measured against the entire NEPSIHA field?

Record against mutual opponents: When both teams have played the same schools, how did each fare?

Record against TUCs (Teams Under Consideration): How has each team performed against the other members of the top 16?

If a team wins the criteria comparison against a fellow Top 16 team they are granted one JSPR point. If there’s a comparison tie, the team with the greater RPI wins the point. By totaling up these points for each team, a provisional ranking is arrived at.

Breaking the Ties:

Since it’s not uncommon for a JSPR points tie to occur between two or more teams (e.g. at the time of writing Hotchkiss, KUA, and St. Seb's each have 9 JSPR points), we must apply the JSPR tie-breaker rules to reach a final ranking:

Winner of the JSPR comparison (if applicable).

Winner of head-to-head results (if applicable).

Winner of RPI.

In other words, if there is no winner of the JSPR comparison between two tied teams, and they haven't played each other, the final fallback is RPI. For each team in a tie-breaker group, we apply these rules, tally the points, and sort them. If the entire group remains tied, we return to RPI as the "end-all-be-all" tie-breaker.

Now you may wonder: are four decimal places sufficient to break a tie? Definitely not! However, behind the scenes RPI is calculated to the sixteenth decimal place. Needless to say, there won’t be any end-of-season RPI ties in prep hockey in the next quadrillion or so years; not on our watch, anyway.  

Once the final JSPR is determined, NEPSIHA playoff seedings fall out naturally. For the Elite 8, we take the top 8 teams by JSPR, and set them aside. Next, for the Large and Small school tournaments, take the remaining teams as determined by RPI, sort them by school size, and the tournament fields are set.

Hopefully this crash course in how the playoff seedings are determined has been helpful.

Best of luck to all teams still in contention as we hit the home stretch of the 2025-26 regular season (we'll have a follow up article this week on playoff projections, so please stay tuned).

Prep Highlights
Saturday, February 21, 2026

@ Kent 2, Canterbury 1 -- A third-period PPG from senior Cal Gustafson lifted Kent to the home win.

Both goalies played strong games, with Kent junior Donovan Dunlay (36/37) edging Canterbury senior Cody Hew (30/32). Canterbury (17-8-2) has gotten cold at an inopportune time, dropping three of its last four games. 

Choate 6 @ Frederick Gunn School 3 -- Choate scored four goals in the first period, which proved cushion enough as the Wild Boars coasted to the win.

@ Westminster 2, Berkshire 0 -- Westminster senior goaltender Ryan Galaski posted a 34-save shutout and a first-period PPG from Tyler Beaudoin was all the scoring needed, though senior Erich Brueckmann scored an insurance goal anyway. Berkshire junior G Alex Kim (31/33) suffered the loss.  

Cushing 4 @ Kimball Union 0 -- Cushing freshman goaltender Mason Raycroft (29/29) posted his first prep shutout, and became the first prep goalie to shut out KUA this season.

@ Brunswick 5, Taft 2 -- Brunswick (16-8-0) junior Keegan Kazan (4g,1a) had a huge day, figuring in all five Bruins' goals. Senior Mason St. Louis (3a) contributed three helpers. Senior Ben Lombardi (1g,1a) gets a nod too. Taft junior Henning Reinprecht and senior Domenico Clarizio scored first-period goals --  senior Brady Smith (2a) assisted both of them -- allowing the teams to carry a 2-2 into the first intermission, but 'Wick scored the next three and won handily. Taft outshot Brunswick but 'Wick junior G Evan Akerman (35/37) handled it with aplomb. Taft junior G Hunter Dryden (26/30) took the loss for the Rhinos, who at 10-11-1 are a game under .500 with two games to play.

@ Salisbury 6, Avon Old Farms 0 -- Salisbury junior Greyson Espenshade, a Yale commit, notched a hat trick and Salisbury senior Jordan Rittenberg posted a 22-save shutout as host Salisbury routed Avon. Junior Jack Mazzella (2a) and sophomore Elliott Watson (2a) each had two assists. In his first game back since returning from an injury, Avon Old Farms senior G Anthony Palmer (39/45) suffered the loss.

@ Berwick 3, Kents Hill 1 -- Berwick got goals from three different scorers -- juniors Talon Beyer and Adam Lopashanski, and sophomore Jack Goodrich -- and senior goaltender Ethan Addazio kicked out 29 of the 30 shots he faced. Berwick is a game under .500 at 11-12-5.

St. Mark's 3 @ Rivers 2 -- Offensive juggernaut St. Mark's -- with senior Evan Nee (1g,2a) figuring in all three goals -- got just enough offense to slip past host Rivers.

@ Kent 3, Hotchkiss 3 (OT) -- Host Kent, on home ice, trailed 3-1 late in the second, but snapped to it, with senior Jack Broderick (1g,1a) scoring a 5x3 goal before the end of the period to cut the deficit to one, and senior Lucas Husted-Edwards (1g) tying it up with 4:00 remaining in regulation. And that's all she wrote. Hotchkiss junior G Neilan Johnson (30/33) and Kent junior Cooper Ranawat (29/32) battled to a draw.

Salisbury 5 @ Loomis Chaffee 1 -- Junior Greyson Espenshade, a Yale commit, notched three goals -- the last an empty-netter -- and added an assist to lead the Crimson Knights' attack. Junior netminder Vaughn McAuliffe (30/31) cleaned up in the blue paint. In the Loomis end, junior G Markus Weber (49/53) probably could have used a little more support. Salisbury moves to 18-3-2.

Thurs. 2/12/26

K-O Shocker!

If you checked out the JSPR standings last night or this morning, you likely noticed that Kingswood Oxford was #14 in JSPR. And your jaw probably hit the floor.  

While K-O, unlike affiliate teams, is a full-fledged NEPSIHA member, they also play a minimal number of NEPSIHA opponents and are thus ineligible for the playoffs (i.e., Elite 8 or Large/Small School Tournaments). So don't worry about that!

While it is true that K-O is undefeated this season, it is also true that they have played just four NEPSIHA opponents, beating St. Luke's twice and Wilbraham & Monson twice. So they're 4-0-0 in league play. Four games is also the minimum games cutoff point that we use internally at USHR to filter out "fringe" teams from displaying in RPI and JSPR. (Historically, we used this setting to prevent affiliate teams such as St. Andrew's College from displaying at the top of RPI when they come down and have success vs. full-fledged NEPSIHA opponents.) 

A good analogy would be an MLB rookie getting called up in September and hitting .800 over two or three games. It means little, as the sample size is too small. And he ain't winning a batting title.

Given that Kingswood Oxford, like affiliate teams, is ineligible for the playoffs they shouldn't have displayed -- and no longer do. Their moment in the spotlight has ended. 

Note:
We'll have a follow up article on RPI, JSPR, and the playoffs breakdown as we head into the home stretch.
