  • Re: Union College: 2015-2016

    The following is a simple accumulation of the numbers of non-senior players on each ECAC team, listed in the final USCHO ECAC league statistics for ECAC points. (http://www.uscho.com/stats/conference/ecac/2014-2015/) There were 80 players on the list and 24 were seniors. The seniors are assumed to be graduating and not returning and are not included in this count.

    There is no accounting here with regard to players who have jumped into the pros. For example, I believe Colgate has lost at least 1

    There is no adjustment for players who have missed games due to injuries or adjustments for scoring intensity (Points/Game).

    This is a possible proxy for scoring depth and one of many possible metrics that we can look at to predict how the Dutchmen will do next year.

    Number of returning players from USCHO ECAC top 80 (56 total)

    St. Lawrence = 9
    Harvard = 8
    Yale = 7
    Q = 6
    Colgate = 6
    Clarkson = 6
    Union = 5
    RPI = 3
    Cornell = 2
    Brown = 2
    Dartmouth = 2
    Princeton = 0

    Footnote:

    Those teams that went deep into the ECAC tournament played more games and added more points and are thus slightly advantaged.

    - We return Vec, Wilkins, Taylor, Foo and Scarfo and 70% of our scoring.
    - Harvard only loses 1, returns Vesey, Criscuolo, Moy, Kerfoot, Malone, Esposito, Hart, Newell. They only loose McNally (ugh)
    - I did not include the Colgate losses of Johnson and Baun. Johnson did not make the top 80 anyway.
    - Q loses Peca, Agosta, Federico but still have 6 returning.
    - Yale loses NO ONE (double ugh)
    - Dartmouth gets decimated, loses 6 and virtually all of its offense.
    - Cornell loses 2 and returns 2
    - RPI loses 3, returns 3
    - Brown loses 1, returns 2
    - St. Lawrence loses 2 and returns 9

      The next metric that I looked at was talent. This is just about impossible to quantify. As a proxy I have taken the number of current NHL draft picks per team. As we all know, this variable has not always correlated well in years past. The following is a simple accumulation of the numbers of NHL draft picks on each ECAC team, listed in the current College Hockey News and updated with the last draft results (Harvard 2, Yale 1, Union 1) (http://www.collegehockeynews.com/rep...ter/Harvard/22) Because this number includes all the current rosters, including freshmen, no separate judgment is needed for each recruiting class.
      There is no accounting here with regard to players who have jumped into the pros. For example, I believe Colgate has lost at least 1.
      Again, this is a possible proxy for talent and one of many possible metrics that we can look at to predict how the Dutchmen will do next year.

      Harvard = 10
      Cornell = 6
      Yale = 4
      Clarkson = 3
      RPI = 3
      Brown = 3
      Q = 2
      Union = 2
      Colgate = 1
      St. Lawrence = 0
      Dartmouth = 0
      Princeton = 0

                  Goaltending is another metric:
                  Below are the ECAC stats for GAA and save%. (http://www.uscho.com/stats/conference/ecac/2014-2015/) These stats are for the ECAC games only and do not include non-conference. Some teams did much better in non-conference matchups. Others did much better in ECAC matchups. Only two teams, as best as I can tell, are losing their starting goalie, Harvard and UNION. In those cases I used the stats from their backups. In Harvard's case the backup only played in one game. The ECAC is returning 10/12 goaltenders.

                  Goalie - GAA
                  Yale - Lyon -1.6469
                  Q - Garteig - 1.7115
                  St. Lawrence - Hayton - 1.7832
                  Dartmouth - Kruger - 1.9871
                  Clarkson -Lewis - 2.0354
                  Colgate - Finn - 2.2130
                  Cornell - Gillam - 2.3232

                      The following is a proxy for "coaching". It is the coach's record at the ECAC team they are currently coaching. This data came from College Hockey News http://www.collegehockeynews.com/reports/team/Union/54
                      This excludes any coaching record at any other school. It is the "winning percentage" for however long the current coach has been coaching at their current ECAC school. There is no minimum threshold in wins.

                          Assigning 12 points for first place, 11 for second place, 10 for third place, etc. I added up the numbers for all twelve teams across all six proxies.

                          TOTAL
                          Yale = 63
                          Q = 57
                          Saints = 49
                          Knights = 46
                          Cornell = 45
                          Colgate = 41
                          Harvard = 36
                          Union = 35
                          Dartmouth = 33

                          Brown = 21
                          Princeton = 10

                          We need goaltending .... better defensive play on the part of our forwards .... upper classmen stepping up .... someone filling in for Champ ... avoiding injuries.

                                Hi Dutchman, thanks for doing all that work.
                                Goaltending was my biggest disappointment last year. Sometimes, you need your goalie to steal a game for you; last season, it didn't happen. More shot blocking by the forwards should help, but without a goalie, there isn't much the team can do (Alex's 3.07 save % vs Lyon's 1.65). On the other hand, Alex did improve quite a bit, so I have hope. Competition will be good too.
                                Let's go Union !
