  • I ANALYSIS of the 2004 NHL LOCKOUT's EFFECT
    ANALYSIS OF THE 2004 NHL LOCKOUT’S EFFECT ON PLAYER HEIGHT AND WEIGHT A THESIS Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Economics and Business The Colorado College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts By Andrew Farny February 2019 i ANALYSIS OF THE 2004 NHL LOCKOUT’S EFFECT ON PLAYER HEIGHT AND WEIGHT Andrew Farny February 2019 Mathematical Economics Abstract This paper analyzes the effects of the 2004 lockout on the current playing style of the National Hockey League (NHL). Using NHL data from before and after the 2004-2005 lockout season, this paper examines the impact a player’s height and weight has on their point share value. Through the use of Newey-West and quantile regression analysis, this paper finds that the league is shifting from heavier, more massive players to smaller and stronger players. The findings from this paper advance the current field of hockey analytics and provide new insights into future NHL player personnel decisions. KEYWORDS: (National Hockey League, NHL Lockout, Player Value, Player Size, Height, Weight) JEL CODES: (J24, J44, J52, Z20, Z21, Z29) ii ON MY HONOR, I HAVE NEITHER GIVEN NOR RECEIVED UNAUTHORIZED AID ON THIS THESIS Signature iii Acknowledgments I would like to say a special thank you to a couple of people for the work on this thesis.
