Hockey Pool Stats
By LCS: Guide to Hockey

We went silly with the math this year and expanded on the usual hockey pool stat package. For each forward or defensemen, we list his position, age, height, weight, scoring stats for the past two seasons, career stats, career per game averages, and career per game averages over 82 games. That's a lot. For goaltenders, we list all that personal info (age, height, weight), their stats in each of the past two seasons, and their career stats.

Skaters are ranked according to points over 82 games, with ties being broken first by goals over 82 games, second by career points per game average, and third by career goals per game average. If they're still tied, whoever is coming off the better season got listed higher. Goaltenders are ranked by wins recorded last season. Ties are broken by goal-against average.

We ranked the top 238 forwards, the top 116 defensemen, and the top 60 goaltenders. Those numbers may seem strange, but add them all up and what do you get? 414. It doesn't seem so strange now, does it?

There are a whole bunch of numbers, but when used properly, these stats can be invaluable when selecting your hockey pool teams. If nothing else, the listings will at least give you plenty of names to choose from when searching for someone, anyone, in the late rounds.
