Youth hockey’s classic trap: judging a defenseman on goals. A 4-point defenseman blocking three shots a game and finishing +12 is having a better season than a 15-point one getting caved in. RinkLog’s RinkBuddy configures in defenseman mode: the priority buttons become blocked shots, hits and turnovers.
- Blocked shots: the measurable sacrifice
- Takeaways and giveaways: reliability with the puck
- +/- and SCF%: what happens while he is out there
- Ice time: the coach’s trust, quantified
- Assists and point shots: the offensive contribution
RinkLog measures and computes all of this automatically during your hockey, ball hockey and ringette games.
