Milton and Weymouth boys hockey could not have asked for much better starts to their seasons. The two Wildcat squads are a combined 4-0 with a +16 goal differential, leading the charge in these Bay State Conference boys hockey power rankings.

On Saturday, the two will face off, looking to set the tone for the rest of the Herget Division slate this year.

Behind the top two teams are the Flyers, which started the season off by beating Natick for the first time in two years Wednesday night.

Sitting in fourth this week are the Raiders who are coming off a 4-2 win over the Tigers on Wednesday.

The Redhawks stay in the top five due to the tightness of each of their contests, and their consistency controlling the puck despite the end results so far.

Behind Natick is Braintree which beat Walpole in the season opener but fell 5-0 to Weymouth Wednesday night.

Brookline, Walpole, and Needham close out the rankings, all looking for a first win.
