     To kick this power ranking list off at number one, we have The Miami Marauders in first place in the league with an impressive record of 8-0-1. A nearly perfect record, their only OT loss being to the Minnesota Storm in a tight 3-2 game.I have the Miami Marauders to stay in first place for a large portion of this season. With key players such as, Andre Lebastard, Patrick Laine, and goaltender Bacon, it's no wonder the Marauders have had such a dominating first week of play. With 9 players over 200 tpe and many more barely trailing that amount, their a very deep star powered team. I have no doubts that there's only one possible team that can take their place on this list. 
     Coming in second on this power ranking list we have The Houston Bulls, with a heavy record of 8-1-0, just trailing Miami by 1 point, I have Houston possibly taking the number one spot in a week or so, depending on unknown factors of course. Houston's only loss so far this season has come from the Las Vegas Ace's, A team that many would only label as a hopeful team and middle of the pack at best. They beat Houston in regulation, 4-3, but don't let this one loss fool you. This Houston team has been incredibly dominate all year long and will most likely to continue to dominate. Their top players include, Riley Knight Gee, Aloe Dear, and goaltender Drew Minot. 

     This top 5 list wouldn't be any god without another team tied for second place, The Minnesota Storm. A team that like Houston is in second place with a 8-1-0 record and a favorable team to stay at the top of the pack for sure. The Storm have been having just a spectacular season so far, dominating their competition for the most part. Even beating the Miami Marauders in OT. What ever you might have to say about this team, it surely is stacked top heavy with excellent talents such as, jer Lefebvre, Shawn Glade III, and Calvin Harvey between the pipes. They have enough depth to survive in this league, and our top 5 list. If there's one team to look forward to watching, it's the Storm.

     Here in fourth place on our list we have, The Ottawa Lynx with a 7-2-1 record on the season. Absolutely a top 5 caliber team, however I don't see this team moving to first place any time soon. I see Ottawa staying in the top 5 for most of this season, but without the depth that they need they may as well kiss first place goodbye. Ottawa is a well rounded team, however they only have 3 players above 200 tpe, if anyone on this top five list might not make it back in a few weeks I'd put my money here. As other teams start to show more promise with player development I don't see Ottawa rising in these power rankings, however their top players are still very talented in their own rights and should be respected. These players include, Alec Volchenkov, Arthur Dayne, and on the blue line, Jiggly Gumballs. Ottawa is a team to watch, with much to prove and everything to lose.

     Here for our final spot on my top 5 power rankings I'm going to pick an unprecedented team who may not be 5th in the standings but may very well move up soon. Here at 5th place I have San Diego in my 5th spot. I know they're technically tied for 5th but hear me out. What Saskatoon has, San Diego has but better. San Diego not only plays well against tough opponents but they're also good at beating middle of the pack to lower teams who may usually surprise top teams and steal a game. However you slice it, San Diego is just a great team to watch this year. And has been the bane of another hopeful team rearing to get into this list, the Ace's. The Marlins have great talent such as, John Merrick, Roadkill Steve, and Doug Dimmadome. I feel as though this team will shock the VHLM this year, and maybe possibly kick butt in the playoffs. 

      So thats enough of this weeks power rankings with Nick, I'll see you all next week with another power ranking article. Until then, stay minty and stay fresh.

Great article, you must not give a lot of love to goalies because in my opinion Ottawa has one of the best in the M in Ajay Krishna, you plan on making this weekly?, and if you were to rank every team where would you rank LVA? I would have ranked Saskatoon ahead of San Diego but that’s just me.

 

rating 10/10

As of now I rank the Ace's in the middle of the pack, there's a lot of potential in their core with young talent that continues to develop. I love goalies, but none have been catching my eye too much this season, however that's subject to change depending on the progression of the season.

He is definitely worth the mention as the only goalie with 250 TPE. Plus he’s 7th in save% with 0.882, 3rd in GAA with 1.60, and 1st in Shutouts with 4. ☝️
