Another week down, more shifting among the Top 10 teams in Rhode Island High School hockey. After last weekend's big matchups, a handful of holiday tournaments promise to shake things up even more as the season continues to exceed the hype. Here's a peek at the updated Power Pack.

North Kingstown
Division Record: 3-1 (Division 2 South)
Overall Record: 3-1-1
North Kingstown beat Toll Gate 4-1 last Friday, but then fell 5-0 on Saturday against Cumberland. The Skippers are still in the hunt in Division 2 but the lopsided loss to the Clippers tells me they aren't an elite Division 2 team yet.

Burrilville
Divison Record: 1-1-2 (Division 1 Eccleston)
Overall Record: 1-1-2
Burrillville lost to Coventry on Saturday, but it's the Broncos 3-1 victory over La Salle on Friday night that has them earning a spot in this week's Power Pack. Burrillville hasn't been as consistent as you'd like to see, but beating the Rams shows the Broncos are capable of beating anyone when they're clicking on all cylinders.

Division Record: 5-0 (Division 2 North)

La Salle
Divison Record: 1-2-1 (Division 1 Cimini)
Overall Record: 2-2-1
La Salle definitely didn't bring their A game against Burrillville on Friday, but the Rams showed some heart in tying Hendricken 2-2 the very next night. La Salle also won their opening round game of the Holiday Face-Off Tournament over Franklin High School. At 2-2-1 the record isn't great, but it's going to take a lot to drop La Salle (or any of the Cimini division teams for that matter) out of my Top 3.
