If there were any lingering doubts regarding who the top team in Maine girls high school hockey was, Edward Little/Leavitt/Poland/Oxford Hills has put them to rest.
The consensus top two teams in the league — the Red Hornets and Yarmouth/Freeport — had already met on the ice sheet this winter. While Edward Little Co-op skated to the 4-1 victory earlier in the year, Yartmouth/Freeport had a golden opportunity to knot the season series last week.
But posting a 2-1 win on the road, Edward Little Co-op has erased any uncertainty regarding its status. The Red Hornets are the team to beat ahead of the looming postseason.
But there are still a handful of battle-tested teams that are built to make a run in the playoffs. Cheverus Co-op, Biddeford Co-op and Brunswick have proven their mettle throughout the winter.
With the postseason on the horizon, here is where things stand in Maine girls high school hockey.
