Top Ten SCHSHL Goaltending Tandems – Week 8
Each week LISN uses advanced analytics to break down the top ten tandems in the SCHSHL Varsity Division. Our model factors in everyday statistics such as Wins, GAA and Shut Outs to establish a baseline for league play. It then takes into account stats such as Power Play Goals Against, Shorthanded Goals Against, and GAA in order to analyze how a player produces as well as what situations they produce in. We also use our analytics program to track how players perform in wins/losses, when they score in a game as well as a multitude of other factors.
