The formula
Faceoff % = won ÷ (won + lost) × 100
Worked example
A center wins 9 faceoffs and loses 6: 9 ÷ 15 = 60%. Over one game it is anecdotal; over 20 games, it is a profile.
It is one of hockey’s most trainable statistics: technique (stance, anticipating the drop, stick work) earns percentage points within weeks. Measuring it game after game shows directly whether practice is paying off. Two buttons in RinkLog (won, lost) and the curve draws itself.
RinkLog measures and computes all of this automatically during your hockey, ball hockey and ringette games.
