Samenvatting:
A fraction of a second can be the difference between a one-timer finding the back of the net and a blocked shot that starts transition the other way. In the fast and fluid game of hockey, time and space drive success.
But hockey analytics hasnt appreciated these two most important factors. It hasnt respected the complexity of the game until now.
Backed by the findings of an original study never before released to the public, Hockey Analytics demonstrates thatwhether it is a failed pinch in the offensive zone, a missed rotation in the defensive zone or other blunderthe vast majority of goals are scored when the defenses positioning is compromised. The authors identify the actions that give players the time and space to read, react and execute. Their findings will shock even the most experienced hockey minds and call into question strategies regularly employed by the games best coaches.
It is simple, actionable and nothing like youve seen before. Whether youre a fan, player or coach, Hockey Analytics will change how you experience hockey.
