We’re in the process of creating a default list of hockey stats for our new Statistics module (which is almost done).

So the question is, what statistics should be included as a default set of stats for any hockey team? Naturally, each team manager will be able to edit these stats categories to fit their specific team, so we’re just looking for the “default” set.

Thanks for the help!

Hey Matt, here is what basically is needed and what should cover everyone I’d be willing to beta test any of this for you…

Player Stats:

POS
Player position. The possible positions are C (center), LW (left wing), RW (right wing), D (defense) or G (goaltender).
NO
Player jersey number.
GP
Games Played.
G
Goals. A goal is awarded to the last player on the scoring team to touch the puck prior to the puck entering the net.
Note: Goals scored during a shootout do not count towards a player’s goal total.
A
Assists.
PIM
Penalty minutes.
PP
Power play goals.
SH
Short-handed goals.
GW
Game-winning goals. After the final score has been determinded, the goal which leaves the winning team one goal ahead of its opponent is the game-winning goal (example: if Team A beats Team B 8-3, the player scoring the fourth goal for Team A receives credit for the game-winning goal).
Note: Goals scored during a shootout are not credited as game-winning goals.
S
Shots on goal. If a player shoots the puck with the intention of scoring and if that shot would have gone in the net had the goaltender not stopped it, the shot is recorded as a shot on goal.
PCT or SPCT
Shooting percentage. Divide the number of goals scored by the number of shots taken.
ESP
Points scored at even strength.
SHP
Points scored while short-handed.
PPP
Points scored on the power play.
HmP
Points scored on home ice.
RdP
Points scored on the road.
DvP
Points scored against teams within the division.
ODvP
Points scored against teams outside the division.
P/G
Average points scored per game.
SHFT
Average number of shifts per game.
ATOI
Average time on ice per game.
FW
Faceoffs won.
FL
Faceoffs lost.
FWP or FWPCT
Percentage of faceoffs won.

Goalie Stats:

GP
Games Played.
W
Wins. A goaltender receives a win if he is on the ice when his team scores the game-winning goal.
L
Losses. A goaltender receives a loss if he is on the ice when the opposing team scores the game-winning goal.
Note: As of the 2005-06 NHL season, a goalie is credited with a loss only if the game is lost in regulation time.
T
Ties. A goaltender receives a tie if he is on the ice when the game-tying goal is scored. (As of the 2005-06 season, ties have been eliminated in the NHL.)
OT
Overtime or shootout losses.
As of the 2005-06 NHL season, a goalie is credited with an “OT” if he is on the ice when the opposing team scores the game-winning goal in overtime or during a shootout.
GA
Goals against.
- Empty net goals do not count towards a goaltender’s goals against.
- Goals scored during a shootout do not count towards a goaltender’s goals against.
SA
Shots against.
GAA
Goals-against average.
Goals-against average is the number of goals allowed per 60 minutes played, rounded to two decimal points. To get the number, multiply the total number of goals allowed by 60 and divide by the total number of minutes played.
For example, if you have allowed four goals in 180 minutes your GAA is 1.33 (4 times 60 is 240. 240 divided by 180 is 1.33). The result suggests that for every full game you play, you will allow 1.33 goals.
S
Saves.
SV PCT
Save percentage.
Save percentage is the number saves made divided by the total number of shots on goal, expressed in three decimal places.
If you have faced 45 shots and allowed five goals, your save percentage is .888 (40 saves divided by 45 shots). The number suggests that if you were to face 1,000 shots you would stop 888 of them.
SO
Shutouts. If two goaltenders combine for a shutout, neither receives credit for the shutout. Instead it is recorded as a team shutout.
PIM
Penalty minutes.

Wow! Awesome! Thanks for the detailed info—that’s exactly what we needed.

No problem, anything to help…

Hey matt, another cool idea would to put in a drop down to see leaders in categories (Goals, Assists, Game Winning Goals, Penalty Minutes) etc.. for the team as well as just a roster with stats like so:

Take a look here for an idea (check out the indivvidual drop down)

Here is more general stats info:

One more thing, Maybe entering stats for each game could show this when you click on a particular game:

I also hope we can have a public area with non private info such as stats, maybe pics, a home page with next game etc.. sort like this link but a bit better:

I hope some of this helps…

Yep, all excellent info. Not sure about the reporting capabilities just yet—we’re still working on the core stats engine, but reporting is definitely something we’ll look at down the road.

An in terms of a public version of the team site—yep, we’re working on that now. Stay tuned…

Hey folks,

Huzzah! We’ve got Statistics pretty much ready to go. Before we release it to the general public, though, we need to do a limited beta test with specific teams. If you’re interested in participating in this limited testing, please email us at support@teamsnap.com and make sure to include your Team ID. (It’s the first number you see up in the URL when you login to your team.)

UPDATE: We’ve got all the teams we need for our limited Stats beta. Thanks for all the help, and stay tuned for the full rollout of the new Stats module—it’s gonna be great!
