Since the 2021-22 National Hockey League season, the NHL has released their player and puck tracking data known as NHL Edge presented by SAP.
As the description sounds, it tracks a bunch of data using high tech tracking equipment to highlight specific key performance indicators such as shot speed, skating speed, speed bursts, zone time, shot locations, and much more.
It is a useful tool in evaluating team and player performance, it goes without being said that it is not the be-all or end-all but it serves a purpose. At the very least, it is an interesting conversation piece and makes you think and see the game a little differently.
