Oh, no big deal...the winner merely takes control of first place in the Cen- TALE OF THE TAPE tral Division -- perhaps the tightest race in professional hockey. REGULAR-SEASON SERIES 3-1-0-0 Grand Rapids | 1-2-1-0 Chicago The Central Division’s top five teams are separated by just four points with Grand Rapids and Iowa (which is idle tonight) tied for first with 49 points. The Wolves are just one point behind heading into tonight’s matchup while Texas (47 points) and Milwaukee (45 points) are just a successful week away from the top. But, wait, it gets crazier. Texas ranks fourth in points, but the Stars are first in points percentage (.635) because they’ve played two fewer games than the Wolves and three fewer than the Griffins 21-12-3-4 22-13-3-1 and the Wild. And then there’s the San Antonio Rampage, who’ve won 11 consecutive home games and officially shaken off their early-season struggles. They sit at 43 points.

The only question mark now is the Wolves’ first-round 3-2-2-0 Iowa | 4-2-1-0 Chicago opponent.

  • Evaluating Team-Level Pace of Play in Ice Hockey Using Spatio
    Playing Fast Not Loose: Evaluating team-level pace of play in ice hockey using spatio-temporal possession data David Yu*, Christopher Boucher, Luke Bornn, Mehrsan Javan SPORTLOGiQ, Montreal, Quebec, Canada *Email: [email protected] 1. Introduction Pace of play is an important characteristic in ice hockey as well as other team-invasion sports. While in basketball pace has traditionally been defined as the number of possessions per 48 minutes, here we focus on pace and movement within a possession, leveraging the tremendous advancements in the capture of spatio-temporal data in team sports in recent years [1]. While much attention has been focused on speed and distance covered at the player level, spatio-temporal datasets also allow for more granular definitions of team-level pace of play such as measures of the speed between successive events or the speed of a possession as a whole. While ice hockey has always been one of the fastest-moving sports, rule and tactical changes in the past 15 years, such as the removal of the rule limiting 2-line passes and the stricter enforcement of obstruction/holding infractions, have placed further emphasis on pace. At the start of the 2016-17 NHL season, Paul Maurice, head coach of the Winnipeg Jets said: "This game is just so fast now... I've seen fast players and I've seen fast teams, it's the first time I thought we had a fast league. The speed, to me, is the one thing that’s changed more than anything. Our team, and the league as well, is as fast as I’ve ever seen it.” [2] Given the emphasis on pace in hockey in recent years, it is surprising that a recent study found a slight negative correlation between various metrics of forward attacking pace and offensive output such as shots and goals [3].
