Ran a test for 2005 and 2006 league and Championships.  No weighting for 2006 being more recent (equal value for both years).  My Rules were: Add total league points, with double for Div 1A and 1B; 2 points for losing league semi-final, 4 points for losing league final, 5 points for winning league.  3 points for provincial championship win, 5 points for provincial win.  2 points for every qualifier win.  5 points for quarter-final win, 7 for semi-final win, 10 for taking Sam home.

Here's the rankings with point totals:
