Situational Rate Stats on Hockey-Reference.com

Posted by Hans Van Slooten on September 25, 2014

As part of our plan to continue to add "advanced" stats to the site, we've included new rate stats on the "Additional Stats" pages for players. These new stats are primarily "per 60 minutes" versions of already existing stats, but we also have included a break out of assists to include both 1st and 2nd assists per 60 minutes. The advantage of the "per 60" versions of these stats is that it makes it easier to compare players with wildly varying amounts of ice time.

These stats are available by clicking on the "Additional Stats" link on the player pages:

    Would "per 20" perhaps make more sense, given that no skaters play 60 minutes per game?

    That's a question we are considering as well. Both /60 and /20 have been used by other sites. We'll have to look into it more and determine the best way. We are happy to hear from others about what they would prefer as well.

    Thanks!

    I definitely prefer "per 20", and possibly "per 30" for defensemen (but this isn't necessary).

    It would also be great to see Quality of Competition, so someone doesn't barge in and wonder why a 4th liner is producing the same as a first-liner. Hockey Abstract and Hockey Analysis do a pretty good job with that.

    Thanks for your input, Ty.

    We are working on QoC and QoT as well. Just want to get stuff out there as it's ready.

    Thanks!
