Hockey Abstract Presents Stat Shot by Rob Vollman
Making advanced stats simple, practical, and fun for hockey fansAdvanced 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.
Rob Vollman, a former member of the Professional Hockey Writers Association, was first published in the Hockey Research Journal in the Autumn of 2001. Since then, he has co-authored all six Hockey Prospectus volumes, two McKeen's magazines, and four books in his own Bill James-inspired Hockey Abstract series, including the highly acclaimed Stat Shot from 2016. Rob is one of the most reliable and amusing voices in the field, and he has managed to mainstream what was previously a niche interest. He is based in Calgary, Alberta.
