  • Hockey Day in Hazelton: Growing the Game One Community at a Time
    Hockey Day in Hazelton: Growing the Game One Community at a Time Nestled in a little nook in northwestern BC, built on the junction of the Bulkley and Skeena Rivers, in the middle of the Roche de Boule Mountain Range, you will find the picturesque Hazeltons. From the moment we pulled into this town, we knew it was going to be a special weekend. We were greeted with open friendliness and a warm welcome wherever we went and everyone we met was proud and happy to share their story about life in the Hazeltons. The community was enthusiastic to welcome us new-comers with open arms. Although we stood out like sore thumb as “non-locals,” the immediate friendliness and energy was felt. We arrived early so we decided to take the opportunity to explore the historic and scenic area of the Hazeltons. First stop: Old Hazelton. To get there, we had to cross the breath taking Hagwilget Canyon Bridge, a one (1) lane suspension bridge 80 metres (262 feet) above the raging Bulkley River, which boasts incredible views of the river below and the gorgeous Roche de Boule mountain range. Once we crossed over the Canyon Bridge, we pulled over to enjoy the majestic viewpoint of the Skeena River, Hagwilget Peak (or Stegyawden, a Tsimshian name meaning ‘stands alone) and the rest of the Roche de Boule. One word: Amazing! We rolled into Old Hazelton where we were transported back to the pioneer days when riverboats travelled up and down the Skeena River during the gold rush of the late 1800’s.

    Goal Prevention 2004 a review of goaltending and team defense including a study of the quality of a hockey ’shots allowed Copyright Alan Ryder 2004 Goal Prevention 2004 Page 2 Introduction I recently completed an assessment of “”in the NHL for the 2002-03 “”season (http://www.HockeyAnalytics.com/Research.htm). That study revealed that the quality of shots allowed varied significantly from team to team and was not well correlated with the number of shots allowed on goal. The consequence of that study was an improved ability to assess the goal prevention performance of teams and their goaltenders. This paper applies the same methods to the analysis of the 2003-04 “”season, focusing more on the results than the method. Shot Quality In summary, the approach used to assess the quality of shots allowed by a team is: 1. Collect, from NHL game event logs, the relevant data on each shot. 2. Analyze the goal probabilities for each shooting circumstance. In my analysis I separated certain “”from “”shots and studied the probability of a goal given the shot type, the ’distance and the on-ice situation (power play vs other). 3. Build a model of goal probabilities that relies on the measured circumstance. 4. Apply the model to the shot data for the defensive team in question for the season. For each shot, determine its goal probability. 5. Determine Expected Goals: EG = the sum of the goal probabilities for each shot. 6. Neutralize the variation in the number of shots on goal by calculating Normalized Expected Goals (NEG) = EG x League Average Shots / Shots 7.
