Shooting & Offense

Shot on Goal (Save) SOG

Any shot that is directed at the net and is stopped by the opposing goaltender. If the goalie wasn't there, it would have been a goal.

Missed Shot MISS

A shot attempt that completely misses the 4x6 frame of the net. This includes shots that hit the post or crossbar and bounce out.

Offensive Blocked O. BLK

A shot taken by your team that hits an opposing defender before it ever reaches the goalie. (Assign to the shooter).

Puck Control & Turnovers

Faceoff Win FACEOFF

A faceoff win is credited to the center who wins possession of the puck for their team off the draw.

Note: Faceoffs track possession, not just who touches it first. If your center pulls it back but the opponent intercepts it immediately, it's a Faceoff Loss.

Unforced Turnover TURNOVER

Losing the puck due to a bad pass, fanning on the puck, or stumbling without any physical pressure from the opponent.

Forced Turnover TURNOVER

Losing the puck because an opponent physically separated the player from the puck, such as finishing a heavy body check or trapping them on the boards.

Defensive Metrics

Defensive Block BLOCK

A player on your team successfully steps in the shooting lane to stop an opponent's shot attempt before it reaches your goalie.

Hit HIT

A legal physical check that separates the puck carrier from the puck. Do NOT track simple body positioning or interference.

Takeaway TAKEAWAY

An active defensive play by your team that steals the puck from the opponent, like intercepting a pass or a clean stick lift.
