Welcome to White Ice Analytics

  1. White Ice Analytics aims to explore the analytical side of hockey goaltending. Our analysis aims to supplement the "eye test" when watching goaltenders allowing individuals to create well crafted answers to questions like: "Who's the best goaltender of all-time?", "Which goaltender means the most to their team?" and "Who is the most promising goaltending prospect?".

    In the future we plan to perform additional analysis on NCAA Basketball specifically the March Madness Men's and Women's Basketball Tournament's.
