How do you evaluate a hockey player?

A skater is evaluated by crossing four lenses: production per ice time (points per 60 minutes), on-ice impact (SCF%, +/- as a trend), volume generated (shots, iCF) and the season trajectory. Raw points alone mostly reward the ice time received.

The classic mistake is judging off a tournament scoresheet. Three games say nothing: variance dominates. Twenty games measured with the same definitions say almost everything. That is RinkLog’s principle: every game feeds the picture, and percentile benchmarks place the player among true comparables.

  • Production: points per game and per 60 minutes
  • Impact: SCF% and +/- read as trends, never off one game
  • Volume: shots and attempts (iCF), the engine that precedes points
  • Context: ice time, role (power play, penalty kill), quality of opposition
  • Trajectory: the last 10 games versus the first 10

RinkLog measures and computes this statistic automatically during your hockey, ball hockey and ringette games.
