Advanced Statistics Glossary

Special thanks to Geoff Detweiler from BroadStreetHockey and Behind the Net for providing this glossary.

• TOI/60: Time on ice per 60 minutes. This calculates even-strength time on ice for the player per 60 minutes of team play. Two things to notice: 1) It isn't even-strength time on ice per GAME, as it adjusts for over-time periods; and 2) It is in decimal form, so 11.5 is eleven minutes and thirty seconds.

• QualComp: Quality of Competition. The average on/off-ice +/- of opposing players faced by a player. The higher this figure is, the more difficult the competition faced.

• QualTeam: Quality of Teammates. The average on/off-ice +/- of players. The higher this figure is, the more effective a player is with these teammates.

• Corsi: a simple plus/minus-style rating of the total number of shots on goal, missed shots and blocked shots directed at the opposing net while a player is on the ice at even strength.  A higher value indicates a greater shot differential, so higher is better.

• Fenwick: The same as Corsi, but excluding blocked shots.

• Relative Corsi: Measures the difference in Corsi between a player's on-ice performance and his team's performance when he's on the bench.

• Corsi Rel QoC: The average relative Corsi of opposing players, weighted by head-to-head ice time. A higher value indicates a more difficult opponent to play against.

• Corsi Rel QoT: The average relative Corsi of teammates, weighted by head-to-head ice time.  A higher value indicates a more effective team to play with.

• OZ%: The percentage of face-offs taken in the offensive zone while a player is on the ice. Even strength, minus empty net situations, only.

• GF/60: Goals for while a player is on the ice per 60 minutes of ice time. Even strength, minus empty net situations, only.

• GA/60: Goals against while a player is on the ice per 60 minutes of ice time. Even strength, minus empty net situations, only.

• Sh%: Team shooting percentage while a player is on the ice.

• Sv%: Team save percentage while a player is on the ice.
