Why it matters more than highlights: a team can live with a goalie delivering 6 solid games out of 10, not with one alternating shutouts and shipwrecks. Two goalies with identical season SV% can have radically different consistency profiles.
At the youth level, set the threshold yourself before the season (say 85% saves) and keep it all year. RinkLog stores every game with its SV%, making the quality-start count immediate in the history.
RinkLog measures and computes all of this automatically during your hockey, ball hockey and ringette games.
