GR Press Rankings

The Grand Rapids Press just published it's first "Prep Rankings" for local hockey teams. Some interesting choices to say the least, especially picking Grandville as #3 in the GR area because, "New coach Shawn Zimmerman did wonders at Mona Shores."

Not sure how the new coaching staff at Grandville plans to channel Coach Zimmerman's success. While Zim did interview for the Grandville head coaching position, the job went to Mike Bynski, a longtime travel and juniors coach, who will lead a youngish Grandville team (3 freshman, 7 sophomores) this year.

My top 10 for GR teams (but not all of West Michigan):

1. GR Catholic Central*
2. East Kentwood
3. Forest Hills Northern/Eastern
4. Rockford
5. East Grand Rapids
6. Forest Hills Central
7. Hudsonville
8. Kenowa Hills
9. Grandville
10. West Catholic

*Please note obvious bias. See bio for details.

My son has played for years with the GRCC and EK kids and I'm an EK fan. I don't see much bias though because GRCC flat out beat them last Friday and was the better "team". Maybe things will be different in February, but I agree that's pretty accurate right now.
