The HockeyFanatic.com is again pleased to provide our monthly installment of the rankings for the top teams of the Canadian Hockey League.  As we’ve all been watching the IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship over the holidays the CHL, unlike the NHL, has been providing some great hockey this season.  Let’s check out how your favorite CHL team is ranked as of December, but first in cased you missed it, here are our previous rankings for the top CHL teams from October and November:

CHL Rankings December 2012

There have been some great streaks including the London Knights of the OHL who recently went on a pretty impressive terror in the Ontario League.  How did the Knights fair in this month’s rankings?  Let’s take a look.  This month the Western Hockey League (WHL) is well represented with five out of the top ten CHL teams coming from the “Dub”.  Kudos to the Portland Winterhawks, the Edmonton Oil Kings, the Kelowna Rockets, the Kamloops Blazers and the Calgary Hitmen.
