These zones feed two tools: xG (each shot gets its scoring probability from its zone) and heat maps, which show where a player shoots from and where a goalie gets beaten. In RinkLog, logging the zone means tapping the rink map at the moment of the shot: one extra second per event, months of analysis in return. The shot tracker page covers how those shots get counted, on goal, missed and blocked.
- Low slot (net front): the most dangerous zone in hockey
- High slot (between the circles): dangerous, especially on one-timers
- Faceoff circles: average quality, lethal for accurate shooters
- Point (blue line): low probability alone, useful with a screen or a tip
- Sharp angles (along the goal line): very low, barring a defensive or goalie mistake
RinkLog measures and computes all of this automatically during your hockey, ball hockey and ringette games.
