Icetistics [ īs’tistiks ] - A New Genre of Hockey Analytics

Here at icetistics.com we apply novel algorithms to NHL play-by-play files to discern valuable information that is often overlooked. Our methods are presented with background research (when applicable), justifications, and analyses.

All statistics and analytics on this website were generated using the R programming Language in RStudio. Please visit https://www.r-project.org/ for more information.
