Ez Street Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Ok, bare with me here but I have an idea. I was thinking what state is the most successful in hockey in the last 20 years. I propose that we complie stats to figure this out. Using stats from Minor and Major Hockey, we can compile stats for all 50 states. Going on combined W-L-T and Championships won, we can rank each state accordingly. Then after the stat work is complete, we can make a bracket and decide on winners for each round. Does this sound good to anyone?We can break down stat work by region or something.No Juniors/Roller Hockey/NCAA!States Complete:Kansas, Missouri, Mississippi, Mass, Conn, Maine, New Hamp, New Mexico, Alaska, Arkansas, Rhode Island, Washington, Idaho, Colorado, Oklahoma, S. Carolina, Utah, Alabama, Minnesota, Arizona, Nevada, New Jersey, Kentucky, Indiana, W. Virginia, Tennessee, Maryland, Georgia, Wisconsin, Louisiana, Ohio, Virginia, New York, Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Florida, California, TexasNo Hockey:Vermont, Montana, Hawai'i, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, Oregon, Delaware @DavidStreeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notch Novelty Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Shouldn't be too hard - hockeydb.comIncluding playoffs too? Now does ties count as .5 half of win and loss in Win%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ez Street Posted May 25, 2004 Author Share Posted May 25, 2004 Well for now i think excluding playoff win/loss is good. As far as ties, i don't know how to handle that. The half win/loss could work. I'd like to get a few opinions so we can proceed with the best collective thought on this. The more the merrier. @DavidStreeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 What about college hockey? It would be hard to have some of the New England states without including the championship teams of Maine, UNH and Boston College.

Ez Street Posted May 25, 2004 Author Share Posted May 25, 2004 my thing about that is not every state has college hockey. MOST states have Pro Hockey. College would be too much. Purhaps later we can do a college version of this, well if it works well. @DavidStreeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 NCAA, SEHL, EHL, CHL, UHL, ECHL, AHL, NHL , plus every other minor league that has come and gone in the past 20 years. Already sounds like too much for me Athletic Director: KTU Blue Grassers Football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian in Boston Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Winning percentage is calculated by dividing the number of wins by the total number of games played. So ties aren't given any special weight (like .5%) because they aren't wins. While they aren't losses, they aren't wins either.Brian in Boston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yh Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 No offense, but this seems like a rather silly pursuit seeing as how the state of Canada is clearly going to win.. . . . runs like hell out of the room leaving a vapor trail in his wake . . . . . .

jkrdevil Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Well, I think there is a problem here. A state with lots a minor league teams and no NHL team will have an adavantage over a state with very few minor league teams but has an NHL team.Take New Jersey for example, this is a state flodded by NHL teams around it (about 4 NHL teams). However only 1 play in the state, but since a high level of play is available to see a minor league team won't be taht succesful and thus there aren't many. (why go see a minor league game when you can go to an NHL game.) So why NJ has a NHL team and two echl teams, another state might have 5 minor league teams but no NHL teams. I think there should be something to take in account the level of play.BTW, I don't think NJ is the best hockey state, i'm using it as an example.Anyway here is my homestate of New Jersey (i'll figure out the numbers later, this in terms of championships):New Jersey Devils- 3 Stanley CupsAtlantic City Boardwalk Bullies- 1 ECHL championshipTrenton Titans- 0 Championships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
