In an NHL crowded with expansion teams and hundreds of new players, fans have begun to demand more thorough and reliable statistics – and the league has accommodated them. But how do hockey fans make sense of this wealth of raw tabulation, and how do they compare today’s achievements with the legendary performances of the past? In this ground-breaking book, Jeff Z. Klein and Karl-Eric Reif introduce fans to dozens of new statistical categories, providing readers with fascinating context and commentary, and intelligent, irreverent analysis. From the dawn of the pro game to the present, The Hockey Compendium deconstructs the sport’s numbers, puts them on an even scale, and re-assembles them to help answer hundreds of debates: • Was Gretzky really the greatest? • How do the Red Wings of the 1990s compare to the Canadiens of the 1950s? • Which players and teams has history overrated, and which have not been given their due? Nothing available anywhere today analyzes performances in as many categories, nor discusses them with as much wit and accessiblity. Based on the cult classic The Klein and Reif Hockey Compendium (M&S, 1986), but completely revised and rewritten, The Hockey Compendium accomplishes the rare feat of being a stats book that is also a highly entertaining read.

Statistical analysis of the NHL gives a very different picture from the simple numbers we usually hear about or see in the newspaper. It is an objective and engaging way to understand the NHL based on science, not just opinion. With the help of some of the brightest names in the field, Darcy Norman presents a thought-provoking examination of the best and the worst in the greatest game. He gets to the bottom of such interesting hockey questions as: * Who will have the better career, Alexander Ovechkin or Sidney Crosby? * Which team gets the most value from its payroll? * How much does a penalty really cost a team? * How accurate are statistics in predicting a young player's future potential? * Every year the NHL awards a trophy to the best defensive forward, but do conventional statistics really tell you which player is the best? * Are all shots on goal really created equal, and how does this affect a goalie's save percentage? * What's the best way to determine a player's contribution to his team's success? * For all the bona fide hockey nuts out there, this book provides the stats that break down the stats.
