What is SCF% (Scoring Chance For percentage)?

SCF% is the share of scoring chances generated BY the player's team while they are on the ice. Above 52%, the player drives play; below 48%, they get outplayed. It is one of the best measures of overall impact, goals or not.

Formula

SCF% = chances for ÷ (chances for + chances against) × 100

Example

During a player's shifts, the team generates 8 clear chances and allows 5: SCF% = 8 ÷ 13 = 61.5%. That player tilts the ice the right way.

A "scoring chance" gets defined before the season and never changes: typically a clear look from the slot or off an odd-man rush. Consistency of definition beats perfection. In RinkLog, two buttons are enough (team chance, opponent chance) and SCF% computes itself.

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