and the advanced stats will increase 10x fold for this (good or bad)....
stats i'm sure we'll see soon thanks to this:
- average skating speed on ice
- average distance skated per shift/game
- time spent in each zone per game,
- forwards time spent in the "hard" area in front of the goalie and within the dots
- average shot distance from goal by player
- time of puck possession per player, per game
- goalies: shots saved/scored based on distance of shot, or area of ice
- goalies: avg distance goalie moves out past goaline when facing a shot
the opportunities are really endless.. having the data available is a huge first step, figuring out how to mine/correlate it will be the interesting part to see what sticks.
