GMHL Team Power Rankings November 2025

As November hits full swing, the GMHL landscape is starting to take shape. The Bradford Rattlers and Northumberland Stars remain the class of their respective divisions, both riding long winning streaks and sitting well above .800 on the season. The Wasaga River Dragons are right behind them, continuing their strong sophomore campaign, while the Durham Roadrunners have quietly emerged as one of the South Division’s best stories so far.

 

Here’s how the league stacks up after the first two months of the 2025–26 season — with all movements measured against the October Power Rankings.

 

Top 10 Teams

1. Northumberland Stars (14-1-0, .933 PCT) – South Division

 

Last Month: 3rd → Up 2 | Previous Ranks: 3

The Stars have been nearly perfect. With 7.33 goals per game and just 1.93 goals allowed per game, they’re dominating both sides of the puck. Their five-game winning streak has solidified them as the league’s most complete team — and a legitimate Russell Cup contender.

 

2. Bradford Rattlers (14-3-0, .824 PCT) – North Division

 

Last Month: 4th → Up 2 | Previous Ranks: 4

 

The three-time defending champions are back on top form. A nine-game winning streak and a +52 goal differential prove they’re still the team to beat in the North. The Rattlers rank 2nd in the league in both Goals For per Game (5.65) and Goals Against per Game (2.59) — the ultimate balance of firepower and structure.

 

3. Wasaga River Dragons (12-2-2, .813 PCT) – North Division

 

Last Month: 2nd → Down 1 | Previous Ranks: 2

 

The River Dragons continue their climb toward elite status in just their second season. They’ve earned points in 14 of 16 games and remain within striking distance of Bradford in the division. Their offense (4.13 GF/GP) is efficient, and their defense remains sturdy — this is a team built to win tight games.

 

4. Ville-Marie Pirates (10-5-1, .656 PCT) – North Division

 

Last Month: 1st → Down 3 | Previous Ranks: 1

 

Ville-Marie slides but stays in the top half thanks to steady play and a balanced attack. Their 4.88 goals per game are strong, but inconsistency in their own zone continues to hold them back. A big stretch of divisional games in December could define where they stand entering 2026.

 

5. West Nipissing Lynx (10-6-1, .618 PCT) – North Division

 

Last Month: 7th → Up 2 | Previous Ranks: 7

 

The Lynx keep trending upward, proving their strong start wasn’t a fluke. Their offense remains among the best in the division (4.88 GF/GP), and they’re starting to show more defensive maturity. West Nipissing is quietly becoming one of the North’s most consistent clubs.

 

6. Durham Roadrunners (8-5-1, .607 PCT) – South Division

 

Last Month: 9th → Up 3 | Previous Ranks: 9

 

One of November’s biggest risers, Durham continues to surprise with an energetic, fast-paced game. Their 5.36 goals per game put them among the league’s offensive leaders. If they keep tightening up defensively, the Roadrunners could crack the South’s top two soon.

 

7. Tottenham Railers (10-8-0, .556 PCT) – North Division

 

Last Month: 6th → Down 1 | Previous Ranks: 6

Tottenham remains a high-event team — they’ve scored 100 goals in 18 games (5.56 per game) but allowed 81. Their ability to win shootouts keeps them competitive, but their defensive leaks are limiting their push into the upper tier.

 

8. St. George Ravens (8-8-0, .500 PCT) – South Division

 

Last Month: 5th → Down 3 | Previous Ranks: 5

 

The Ravens slide a few spots after splitting the month. Their record and goal differential (-7) show exactly what they are right now: average, but capable of catching fire. They’ll need a strong November/ December to avoid getting passed in the South race.

 

9. Niagara Predators (6-9-0, .400 PCT) – South Division

 

Last Month: 8th → Down 1 | Previous Ranks: 8

 

Niagara remains competitive despite their losing record. Their defense keeps them in games, but they’re still struggling to generate enough offense (3.53 GF/GP). They’re gritty and capable of stealing games — but need consistency to rise.

 

10. Bradford Bulls (5-13-0, .278 PCT) – South Division

 

Last Month: HM → Up into Top 10 | Previous Ranks: HM

 

The Bulls re-enter the Top 10 after showing improvement. They’ve begun to find scoring depth (44 GF) and are competing harder each night. Still, defensive lapses (4.78 GA/GP) remain the hurdle between them and sustained success.

 

Honourable Mentions:

 

North York Renegades (5-10-0, .333 PCT) – Last Month: HM → HM | Previous Ranks: HM

Playing better but still inconsistent. Defense remains the main issue (74 GA).

 

Meaford Knights (3-11-0, .214 PCT) – Last Month: Non Qualified for Ranking → HM | Previous Ranks: NQ

A tough start for Meaford, who’ve dropped seven straight. The team is in transition but shows flashes of compete level against top opponents.

 

Game to Watch (November)

 

November 23 – Bradford Rattlers vs. Northumberland Stars

 

It’s the early Russell Cup Final preview everyone’s talking about. The powerhouse Northumberland Stars bring the league’s best offense and defense into Bradford to face the three-time defending champions on a (currently)nine-game winning streak.

 

Both teams lead their divisions, both are averaging over 5.5 goals per game, and both are dominating opponents. With star power on both sides and pride on the line, this matchup could set the tone for the rest of the season — and maybe the postseason too.
