Redhawks keep top spot by razor-thin margin in GOHL Power Rankings
1. Cambridge Redhawks (35-5-0-0)
Last week: W 5-1 at #4 St. Catharines, L 2-5 at #2 Fort Erie
For the third straight game, Reid Gammage scored the game winning goal (his league-leading 8th of the season) as the Redhawks took the season series against the Falcons 3-1, including two wins in St. Catharines in the last 14 days. Alexander Forrest (Kitchener Rangers, 2025) had two assists for his third straight multi-point game. With the loss in Fort Erie, the Redhawks are now 6-5 against ranked opponents (including 0-3 against the Meteors).
Next week: Saturday vs #2 Fort Erie
2. Fort Erie Meteors (28-6-2-0)
Last week: W 5-2 vs #1 Cambridge, at Welland (postponed)
Hunter Coley‘s 100th career GOHL point was the game winning goal in the Meteors’ third straight win over the Redhawks this season. Fort Erie improved their record against ranked teams to 8-3 and extended their franchise record win streak to 18 (including 5 combined wins over Cambridge and St. Catharines). Danny Adamo (1G, 1A) and Sam Tonelli (3A) extended their point streaks to 12 and 10 games respectively. It is quite likely that Saturday’s rematch in Cambridge will determine the #1 spot in next week’s rankings.
Next week: Thursday at Ayr | Saturday at #1 Cambridge
3. St. Marys Lincolns (27-6-2-0)
Last week: at LaSalle (postponed), W 1-0 vs Waterloo
Jack Clarke (Erie Otters, 2024) scored the lone goal late in the second period and Brogan Colquhoun made 31 saves for his second shutout of season to give the Lincolns their second straight shutout, 14th straight home win and extend their overall point streak to 14 games (13-0-1-0). They are tied with Elmira for second place in the Western Conference standings, one point back of Chatham with four games in hand.
Next week: Thursday at Hamilton | Friday vs #7 London | Sunday at Waterloo
4. St. Catharines Falcons (29-5-2-0)
Last week: L 1-5 vs #1 Cambridge, W 5-0 at #10 Port Colborne
The loss to the Redhawks was the Falcons’ third straight home loss — noting that two were to the Redhawks and the other to the Meteors. In his second appearance as a Falcons, trade deadline acquisition Cole Scullion (Oshawa Generals, 2023) made 33 saves against the Sailors for his first career GOHL shutout as St. Catharines tied a franchise record with points in 18 straight road games.
Next week: Friday vs Brantford | Sunday at #9 Pelham
5. Elmira Sugar Kings (26-6-2-0)
Last week: W 6-2 at #7 London, vs #8 Chatham (postponed)
The Sugar Kings scored three unanswered first period goals in the win over the Nationals. On the season, they have outscored their opponents 58-25 in the opening frame. Kyle Morey had a pair of goals for his sixth 2-goal game of the season as Elmira improved to 2-0 against London, having outscored the Nationals 8-3. With the Sugar Kings trailing the first place Maroons by one point, inclement weather prevented a chance to take top spot place in the Western Conference standings.
Next week: Saturday at Komoka | Sunday vs #6 Stratford
6. Stratford Warriors (23-7-2-2)
Last week: W 10-3 at Sarnia, vs Strathroy (postponed)
Trade deadline acquisition Cruz Ferguson (Saginaw Spirit, 2023) scored a career high 4 goals — his first goals as a Warrior — and added an assist in the win over the Legionnaires. The Warriors — who have played the fewest games of any Western Conference team — will play three games this week, including two against ranked opponents.
Next week: Wednesday at #7 London | Friday vs Komoka | Sunday at #5 Elmira
7. London Nationals (25-11-1-0)
Last week: L 2-6 vs #5 Elmira
Olivier Romain (Sarnia Sting, 2025) scored his first career GOHL goal in the loss to the Sugar Kings. The Nationals are now 8-7 against ranked opponents, including losses in both games against Elmira. Up next for London … two games against ranked opponents.
Next week: Wednesday vs #6 Stratford | Friday at #3 St. Marys
8. Chatham Maroons (26-8-2-3)
Last week: L 5-7 at St. Thomas, at #5 Elmira (postponed)
The Maroons rallied from a 3-0 deficit to tie the game, but were outscored 3-1 in the third period and fell to the Stars for the second time in five days, allowing 13 goals in those two losses. Their hold on first place is precarious, as they lead Elmira and St. Marys by a single point with both teams having four games in hand.
Next week: Thursday at Sarnia| Sunday vs Strathroy
9. Pelham Panthers (25-13-0-1)
Last week: W 5-2 at Caledon, vs #10 Port Colborne (postponed)
In Caledon, Francesco Sanita‘s first career shorthanded goal late in the second period snapped a 2-2 tie as the Panthers extended their overall point streak to five games (4-0-1-0) and their road point streak to eight games (7-0-1-0). Robbie Dragusica (Ottawa 67’s, 2025) had a goal and two assists for his second straight 3-point game.
Next week: Sunday vs #4 St. Catharines
10. Port Colborne Sailors (22-12-3-0)
Last week: W 4-1 at Brantford, L 0-5 vs #4 St. Catharines, at #9 Pelham (postponed)
Goals 5 seconds apart from Joshua Lamb and Sullivan Cook were the difference as the Sailors improved to 3-0 against the Titans this season. Port Colborne suffered their second shutout loss of the season at the hands of the Falcons and are winless in four games against St. Catharines this season (0-2-2). The Sailors have a 10-day break before their next game February 5th in Ayr.
Next week: no games scheduled
