AdvancedHockeyStats Site Update - April 25

Happy Friday everyone,

It's been a week since we fully launched AdvancedHockeyStats.com and we really couldn't be happier with the reception and feedback we've received. It's still a work in progress as we work towards adding absolutely all the existing perks + a lot of new ones to the site. Having this platform (and Patrick's coding skills) gives us so, so much more flexibility in terms of what we're able to offer ...

Patrick's been working on this project for a few months now, and we've launched it in beta mode for $10 subscribers to try out. But now we're ready to release it to everyone.

NEW PERK: 2024-25 Player Cards

Hey everyone! The time has finally come. 2024-25 Player Cards are now live!

I deeply appreciate your patience. The reason we waited to put out this data is because we wanted to make absolutely sure that we weren't putting out something premature or misleading because the sample size was too small. As tempting as it often was to rush these out, ultimately I think we made the ri...

Happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone is enjoying the start of the 2024-25 NHL season! We'll have plenty of stuff up as teams start to play a few more games (including dashboards, player cards, etc.), but the first step is the Stats Central workbook.

2024 Playoff Dashboard

 

Hi everyone!

With the playoffs in full swing, here's a new interactive dashboard with five views looking at players' on-ice metrics in the 2024 NHL playoffs! This should be a great way to visualize how players have been performing and include various filters and highlighters to help with analysis.

The graphics included are

NEW PERK: 2021-22 to 2023-24 Tracked Data Dashboard

NEW PERK: 2022-24 WAR Cards

Hey everyone,

Got another 2023-24 perk today, the popular WAR comparison cards.

Here's the gist:

  • Player isolate models need a solid sample of data to function properly and fairly estimate allocate responsibility for on-ice results to individual players. WAR data based on a small sample is not only unreliable for the usual reasons that small-sample data can mislead, but becaus...

NEW PERK: Historical Player Cards (2007-2023)

A big update to the "historical cards" (which span 2007-08 onwards, since that's the analytics era where our data-set begins) has finally arrived. I've been hearing from people for a while that they wanted to fill in some of the blanks with the previous ones, which went from 2007-08 to 2018-19, and I'm happy to say that this new edition contains every season we have data for.

There are also a few mor...

Something a little smaller before the fully updated Player Cards and Goalie Cards come at the 50% mark of the season, but one I always enjoy - an interactice Tableau dashboard of lots of ways to look at individual and on-ice shooting as well as on-ice goaltending.
