There are no changes to this week’s Varsity Maine girls hockey poll, and it’s no surprise that the regional finalists fill the first four spots.

The Edward Little co-op is the unanimous No. 1 for the fourth week in a row. The Red Hornets’ opponent in the North final, Yarmouth/Freeport, is No. 2. The South finalists, Cheverus co-op and Biddeford co-op, are third and fourth, respectively.

The regional finals will be played Wednesday at Troubh Ice Arena in Portland.

Gorham, which joined the rankings for the first time last week, finishes the season at No. 5.


The Varsity Maine girls hockey poll is based on games played before Feb. 10, 2026. The top five teams are voted on by the Varsity Maine staff, with first-place votes in parentheses, followed by total points.
