Make it three years in a row atop the SCTA for the Oakville Rangers, who edged out Hamilton by three points for first place. The Rangers dropped just four of their 32 games, with two of those coming in the final two weeks with top spot all but locked up. Oakville – which led the SCTA in goals scored (161) and goals against (62) and had six players in the top 13 of league scoring – had two point streaks of at least 10 games, including a season-high 14-game run (13 wins and one tie) from Oct. 17 to Nov. 25.
