Champs App lets players create beautiful, free hockey resume that facilitate the college hockey recruiting process.
“How do I know coaches will remember me after the Northern Prospects – Female College Hockey Showcase?”
By connecting directly with coaches, players can know that coaches will continue to follow them after the event during the regular season (see their schedule, video & profile updates). Coaches can not only get more details about each player, but also see their upcoming schedule, regular teams and coaches.
Step 2: To make it easier for the RAD Player Advancement Camp coaches to find you make sure you add your current team to your Champs profile and make sure to include your jersey #

ChampsRankSOS Rankings Comparison: December 7 vs December 14, 2025
The ChampsRankSOS rankings were stable at the top, with the top five teams holding their positions and showing slight rating improvements. Wisconsin remains #1 at 20.00, followed by Ohio State (19.21 → 19.23), Minnesota (18.42 → 18.45), Penn State (17.89 → 17.93), and Minnesota Duluth (17.49 → 17.51). The limited movement reflects only five completed games between December 7–14. Those games involved lower-ranked teams (Dartmouth, Robert Morris, LIU, Saint Anselm, Saint Michaels, Brown, and Yale), so they had minimal impact on the top teams’ strength of schedule. The most notable change was in the 6–10 range, where St. Cloud State moved from #7 to #6 (16.44 → 16.47), while Princeton dropped from #6 to #7 (16.46 → 16.47), separated by 0.0008 rating points. Minnesota State entered the top 10, climbing from #11 to #9 (16.29), while UConn fell out of the top 10, dropping from #10 to likely #11 or lower. The time-decay model’s emphasis on recent results, combined with the sparse schedule, explains why the rankings stayed largely stable with only minor adjustments in the middle tier. The lack of games involving top-ranked teams meant their ratings were primarily affected by the gradual decay of older results rather than new competitive outcomes.

Given Wisconsin’s sweep this weekend, we have decided to only focus on the time-decay version of our Strength-of-Schedule model (using a 45-day decay rate).

The main change is a flip at the top.
On Nov 30, Ohio State was #1 (20.00) and Wisconsin #2 (19.78). On Dec 7, Wisconsin is #1 (20.00) and Ohio State #2 (19.21). Wisconsin’s 6-1 win over Ohio State on Dec 6, weighted heavily by the decay model, likely drove the change. Wisconsin beat Ohio State in both their meetings this past weekend.
Other Dec 5–6 results affected the rankings. In ECAC, Princeton beat Colgate 6-1, Quinnipiac won 3-0 at Cornell, RPI won 3-1 at Dartmouth, Harvard beat Union 4-2, and Yale won 3-2 at Brown. In Hockey East, Northeastern won 3-1 at Boston College, Maine won 4-3 in OT at New Hampshire, and Holy Cross won 2-0 at Vermont. These outcomes, especially the Wisconsin–Ohio State result, shifted ratings in the decay model.
Rating adjustments in the top 5
Minnesota remains #3 but dropped from 18.71 to 18.42. Penn State stays #4, down from 18.15 to 17.89. Minnesota Duluth remains #5, up from 17.76 to 17.49. The decay model’s emphasis on recent results, combined with Wisconsin’s strong recent form, explains the shift at the top.

We initially planned to publish only the time-decay version of our Strength-of-Schedule model (using a 45-day decay rate). However, the differences between the decay and no-decay versions were significant enough that it made sense to release both. This allows a clear comparison between a full-season evaluation and a ranking system that emphasizes recent performance — something both subjective polls and postseason selection committees tend to value. This weekend’s upcoming games between Wisconsin and Ohio State, might tell us which methodology makes more sense.

#1 Ranking Flip
When recent games are weighted more heavily, Ohio State takes over the top spot. Over the full season, Wisconsin remains #1.
• Without decay: Wisconsin #1 (20.00), Ohio State #2 (19.81) • With decay: Ohio State #1 (20.00), Wisconsin #2 (19.78)
Why the flip occurs
• Wisconsin: Goal differential drops from 4.06 → 3.96 due to early-season blowouts being de-weighted (e.g., 17–2 vs. Stonehill, 8–0 vs. Minnesota State). • Ohio State: Goal differential rises from 3.25 → 3.46, reflecting stronger recent games. • Game volume: Wisconsin has 18 games — more older results get discounted. Ohio State has 16 — more of their games retain full weight. • Decay math: Games older than ~60 days count at roughly 35% weight, boosting teams with stronger recent form.
Other Notable Shifts
• Minnesota State: +5 spots (11 → 6) — largest improvement • Bemidji State: –4 spots (24 → 28) — largest decline • 24 teams experienced movement between the two models
