The constant doesn't have to be 60 I just used that as an example. It's just a means of normalizing for different icetimes.
Thanks for the detailed explanation (formulas included!)



I was hoping you might address the portion of my post that challenges your stat, rather than the last one liner that was clearly a joke.
