1950/51 Preseason Power Rankings

1-Halifax Highlanders
The defending champs have maintained their strong core of players, with goaltender Alex Davis remaining vital to the team's success. However, some of their supporting cast may need to step up for the team to remain dominant. The addition of James Stewart and the development of Harold Sullivan could provide some extra depth at the center position. The team will rely heavily on Robert Mayne and Charlie Ellis on the wing, with potential breakout stars in Antony Sinclair and Gavin Scott. Defence could be a concern, as the team has few standouts outside Stanley Blackwood. The backup goaltending position could also be an area to watch, with Jamie Scott looking to prove himself behind Tristan Campbell. Overall, the defending champs have the potential to remain a top team but will need contributions from various players to stay on top.

Best Player: G Alex Davis
Best Rookie: C Michael Nelson

2-Quebec Reds
Quebec was one win away from winning it all last season and looks to continue their success this year. Alex Fortin leads a strong group of centers, with Bradley Stewart providing experience and Gabriel Caron and Lachlan Johnston providing depth. The team is strong on the wings, with Roy Davies and Nicholas Marriott leading and younger players like Dustin Fraser showing potential. On defence, Evan James is a standout performer, with Kevin Taylor and Bob Dezouvre providing substantial support. Patrick Bell is a reliable starter in the net, and Ray Young provides a solid backup option. Overall, this team has a strong lineup with experience and potential in every position and could threaten for a championship once again.

Best Player: D Evan James
Best Rookie: W Nicholas Marriott

3- Montréal Métros
The Métros have a strong core of forwards led by Yvan Roy, the league's top player. Thierry Rousseau is also a solid contribut

The Big Blue are 1-2 but somehow are in a tight race for the ECC. It doesn't get easier as we head to Hawaii to try and hand the Hawks their first loss. All blues for the occasion.
