Dr Matt Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Below is the link to the research paper (PDF format): https://www.researchgate.net/publication/348550345_A_pre-Covid-19_survey_of_boys'_interscholastic_high_school_hockey_in_North_America Abstract A comparative study was performed that included the analysis of demographic and competitive rating data for boys’ interscholastic high school ice hockey teams located in the North America. A composite rating profile was generated using SportsoftTM windows-based software (least-squares method) that reduced the raw game scores of over 146,000 games played by 5,479 boys’ teams in both United States and Canada between the ages of 15 to 18. Individual rating profiles for each state high school league were extracted, tabulated, trend lines plotted and analysed. State rating profiles were grouped by region and comparative graphs were plotted using the state of Minnesota as a common benchmark. Keywords: least-squares, ice hockey, rating profile, Minnesota ___________________________________________________ Email: Dr.Matt.Stevens@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifelongbender Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I don't know how many people have opened this and read it, but it was actually quite interesting in a sort of numerically intensive kid of way. I think it more or less confirmed what I already believed - PA has a number of very good Varsity hockey teams, but the top tier of MN teams is just a different animal. Thanks for posting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
