Mid-Season Update

Posted by Steve Anderson on December 16, 2016

AHAers,

The winter season is in gear, and the outdoor parks are almost open for some training and free ice time. Current stat sheets are only updated through the end of the 2016 Summer season. I’ll be updating all stat sheets around the middle of the winter season when hopefully all or at least most teams have played 10 games. If I have some extra time around the holidays, I may get the updating going a bit early. This update will also then include the short 2016 Fall League stats as well.

Happy holidays to all,

Stay Tuned: Updates Are A Comin’

Posted by Steve Anderson on August 24, 2016

AHAers,

The 2016-2017 Winter Season is fast approaching. I personally can’t wait, but I’m also excited for the Bloomington Fall Tournament (Twin Cities Classic) and the Duluth Fall Tournament (Duluth Classic). Les Etoiles du Nord will be well represented in both tournaments. We’ve grown by one, and now have three teams (C1/C3/D2) going into this coming Winter Season. Stop by the tournaments and say hi, let me know what you think of the blog.

I plan on updating the stat spreadsheets the first weekend of September after the Summer League playoffs are done on August 28th. The new update will have all the game stats from Spring League and Summer League. It’ll all be ready for all of your scouting needs come this winter.

As always, spread the word around the league and leave some comments on the blog.

AHA Data Oddities #9 & #10

Posted by Steve Anderson on January 31, 2016

AHAers,

I find these ‘data oddities’ while going through the data and seeing something that catches my eye. Typically my first instinct is that I have a typo in one of my formulas causing the model to pull the wrong number. Almost every time it ends up being a ‘data oddity’ where it’s either a weird ‘glitch’ in the AHA.com data or it’s simply just a unique, record-setting, stat. Below I have examples of each.
