The AGHF All Star Player Selection Process
Each AGHF team was allocated roster spots in the All Star games based on the KRACH ratings as of November 6th. The higher the KRACH, the more roster spots that team will be given for the All Star game.
The league office then requested player nomination’s from each organization. Once the player nominations were collected players were chosen by the selection committee based on the nominations, rankings, and season statistics.
Please note only teams that chose to participate in the selection process had players selected for the All Star game.
The Atlantic Girls Hockey Federation will be releasing KRACH rankings every week. KRACH rankings are a team’s win and loss ratio multiplied by the strength of schedule. Due to the AGHF playing an unbalanced schedule and some teams playing a full versus partial season, KRACH will fairly measure each teams rankings. Number of teams per division who qualify for the playoffs will be determined by December 15th
The AGHF will release KRACH on the app weekly on Wednesdays and on the website on Friday. Thus KRACH was released, November 30 on our AGHF mobile app and today, December 2 on our website. Be sure to stay tuned for your teams KRACH rankings as top teams make playoffs.
