Eye-test-only evaluation is treacherous for goalies: we remember the spectacular goals allowed and forget twenty routine saves. Systematic measurement, game after game, with the same definitions, is the only way to get an honest picture. That is exactly what RinkLog’s goalie mode does, shot heat maps included.
- Overall SV%: the baseline, read over at least 10 games
- HDSV%: save percentage on slot chances, where real saves are made
- Quality starts: share of games where the goalie gives the team a real chance to win
- Rebounds allowed: a goalie who smothers rebounds erases second chances
- Shot volume faced: 20 shots and 40 shots a game do not tell the same story
RinkLog measures and computes all of this automatically during your hockey, ball hockey and ringette games.
