The most honest comparison remains the percentile: placing each goalie among goalies of the same age, level and game volume. That is what RinkLog Benchmarks do, without ever exposing another player’s individual data.
- SV% over the same span and a sufficient sample (10+ games)
- HDSV%: who stops the hard chances, not just blue-line floaters
- Shots faced per game: the bombarded goalie deserves an adjusted read
- Consistency: the gap between good and bad games
- Same level of competition, or the comparison is worthless
RinkLog measures and computes all of this automatically during your hockey, ball hockey and ringette games.
