Its traps are well known: it depends on linemates, the goalie behind and the opponents faced. An excellent player on a weak team can finish at -10; an average player on an offensive machine at +15. A single game’s +/- means almost nothing.

Read well, it stays valuable: as a season trend, compared to teammates in similar roles, and crossed with SCF%. A player with a good SCF% but bad +/- is probably suffering percentages, not play. RinkLog logs +/- in one tap and puts it back into that context.

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