Stats

[ACM]

Finding accurate college hockey stats just got harder.

[upprdeck]

so they went live with a new system but never really had it fully tested.. sounds like most every software project i have been involved in the last 30 yrs..

Seems like a consortium of schools should have gotten together and found a way to induce Danehy to continue his work or to turn his site and code over to someone similarly competent.

This might be for the best in the long run.  The tools and methods to do this type of thing are evolving quickly and it's probably the case that nobody over the age of about 24 understands the best way to do this.  Seems like a perfect opportunity for some STEMlord to drop a clean, light, fast solution, or just adapt some super cool COTS product used for widget QA.

I looked at the NCAA page for Cornell hockey. When did MSG become Cornell's primary venue and not Lynah? :-D

Good story, and all due accolades and thanks to Mr. Danehy for all the years of hard, anonymous work. I used collegehockeystats.net an embarrassing amount, and will miss it dearly.

Reading between the lines, I also want to thank our own Adam Wodon. It's pretty apparent that he has put in a lot of work not only through the years in expanding the data reach on CHN, but also it sure seems like he and his team had the forethought of what losing Tim as a resource would mean and getting ahead of it during this offseason. Just knowing what hiccups and disruption will come to what has always been a very solid system and provider is pretty stressful work. I wish CHN and all our resource providers luck in their work, which they really do for regular nerdy people like us with a pretty niche obsession.  Thanks, Adam.

Just seeing this now - and thanks Rich ... And - yeah ...

I have no idea what these Advanced Stats are, but Cornell is:

2nd in the country in Corsi CF% Total
1st in the country in Corsi CF% Even Strength
1st in the country in Corsi CF% "Close"

Corsi totals shots on goal, missed shots, and blocked shots. Someone (probably named Corsi) figured out that total shot attempts estimates possession and total offense well enough to be worth considering rather than just shots on goal.

I'm not certain where the percentage comes in. Maybe it's something like the percentage of total shots attempted that one team took out of all total shots attempted?

You create enough stats, then Everybody's A Winner.

David Archer is probably No. 1 in FCS for the stat,
Most Fourth Quarter Comebacks (If Not Wins) By A Freshman Quarterback Who Almost Went To A Service Academy.

[billhoward]

Shots More Or Less On Goal would be a good sign.

Blocked Shots are a good indicator and if Cornell is still blocking shots in the third, then it's a doubly important measure of offensive non-prowess because our defense has figured out their offense and they haven't adjusted.

[Trotsky]

Shots More Or Less On Goal would be a good sign.

Doug Murray's "Shots on Something."

[CU2007]

David Archer is probably No. 1 in FCS for the stat,
Most Fourth Quarter Comebacks (If Not Wins) By A Freshman Quarterback Who Almost Went To A Service Academy.

David Archer is first in dumb decisions that are legit insane for a D1 coach to make and not get fired for incompetence. That's probably it.

[bernie]

from the same page, looks like our team is t-2nd in height, 22nd in weight, and (but for a data format problem) the youngest in d1 hockey

[Scersk '97]

Oh, oh, the stats I miss. Today's it's the easy access to things like PP Chances/Game and % of game time ahead, tied, and behind.
