such an approach should very clearly and quantitatively explain how and why defenders that (also) repeatedly can beat the F1 forechecker offers a superior value compared to the classical but limited “good first pass D”. Current xG models likely insufficient for this purpose.
Understanding hockey is complex.
I’m beginning to realize the actual value of different skill sets and on ice habits for defensemen will not trickle down to coaches and scouts until we have reasonable xT models linked to Markov chains (a critical component). I suggest=>
Tomorrow morning our season officially begins. New division, some new players, a solid core of returning players and the same battle tested, championship pedigree. Looking forward to winning another one with this TEAM. Our best

@Hunter_Kash2 100% truth.
Sidebar - I miss coaching you and witnessing your impact on the Ice. Wish we could rewind a few years. Hope all is well young man.
@IroqAldenFed@billieshockey Good game. Why was your 5th goal called back ? Did you get an interesting explanation at least ? I rewound it several times and see nothing. There’s no way they can call goaltender interference on that. Ridiculous if so.
Congratulations once again to our girls on Winning the Class A2 title over Will South 4-1. We’re very proud of you. Our best. Iroquois Lady Chiefs Soccer

@IcingTheFed Hey, we still have some JV Playoffs left on the ballot this week @ Hyde Park ...... ;)

Sat, 4/3- Championship
Times - TBA
Also, keep promoting “skilled ways” to exit your D zone.Hanging onto the puck too long & then opening way too wide & telegraphing a cross-ice pass
Icing is still one of the most effective plays in hockey.I’ll take 100 consecutive D zone faceoffs over a costly turnover any day.
Let’s keep over-training these young players on how to stick handle and puck handle and go absolutely nowhere while turning the puck over 100 times per game (esp in the middle of the ice)... Great strategy USA hockey. Meanwhile, the Canadian school keep laughing at us.
