Description
Making advanced stats simple, practical, and fun for hockey fans
Advanced stats give hockey’s powerbrokers an edge, and now fans can get in on the action. Stat Shot is a fun and informative guide hockey fans can use to understand and enjoy what analytics says about team building, a player’s junior numbers, measuring faceoff success, recording save percentage, the most one-sided trades in history, and everything you ever wanted to know about shot-based metrics. Acting as an invaluable supplement to traditional analysis, Stat Shot can be used to test the validity of conventional wisdom, and to gain insight into what teams are doing behind the scenes — or maybe what they should be doing.
Whether looking for a reference for leading-edge research and hard-to-find statistical data, or for passionate and engaging storytelling, Stat Shot belongs on every serious hockey fan’s bookshelf.
Reviews
Best Hockey Book Available
5By storm_01This is probably the most generally informative hockey book available that all hockey fans should read. Normally informative would infer a lack of entertainment to the average person, but this book is also a very enjoyable read. An example would be a textbook. That is a very informative book that isn't written in an entertaining or enthralling manner. Stat Shot is the best of both worlds. It is a very compelling read while also being able to teach new things to someone like myself who has their own analytics website and is already very knowledgeable on the subject matter. Click the sample button, examine what the book has the offer, and I bet you'll eventually purchase and enjoy this piece.
