Hockey Analytics: 2024 Edition

In the everchanging world of hockey, hockey analytics have continued to revolutionize hockey and the perception of the "ideal" modern hockey player. Analytics come in many forms, including things like zone exits/entries, playmaking elements, expected goals, royal road shot generation, shot assists, and so much more. There's use of analytics in all forms of hockey operations, including player development, coaching, as well as off-ice player development like strength training and nutritional impact. Hockey analytics give insight into what directly happened on and off the ice, allowing players a fresher perspective on how they can improve different areas of their game. More players have access to better resources and tools within analytical form, which can allow them to separate themselves from other players with continuous improvement.
