It sounds simple, but it's a huge challenge in a rigidly top-down culture like hockey.

Totally agree, unconscious biases turn into answers looking for a question.
Analytics are only as good as the questions they ask. Better questions enable better answers. People are also frequently asked unaware of the difference between
descriptive, predictive, & prescriptive data analysis . Fans asks questions like who is better or who will win while teams are going deeper into why a player or team does well or doesn't and when.
