Actually, Walker Holton is anything but "another Boston area guy." In fact, he's a FLORIDA guy (Orlando, to be precise) who came up through the USA Hockey Officials Development Program (similar in purpose to the NTDP) and moved to New England to further his craft. And he's not the only "outsider." Dan Schachte brought in several out-of-area ODP products during his tenure. Walker Holton, IMO, is one of the better young referees in HEA. Doing well in the AHL too.

Great question... it really is a complete disgrace that the league is refusing to allow this formula to be released. At this point, I hope one of the member institutions that knows it leaks it out to someone. You do wonder if a math whiz could reverse engineer it via the changes that occur from one night to the next. Where's Patman?
The fact that they are adamant about not releasing it really raises questions about the leadership in the league office.
1. BC
2. BU
3. UMass
4. UConn
5. Providence
6. Northeastern
7. UML
8. Merrimack
9. UNH
10. Maine
11. Vermont
The only difference with HEPI is Maine and UNH are flipped.

edit: ok, now I see; UNH has played the most games at 21. But, UNH never got to play either BU or UVM this season.Last edited by Snively65; 02-23-2021, 03:33 PM.

Assuming BU sweeps Merrimack, does BC need to beat UMass to win the conference? Boy would that be controversial.Here we go 'Cats!!

I'm really interested in the mathematics behind HEPI. I don't have much data though. I took screenshots before and after today's UMass-PC game. I was wondering if it was a 0 sum game, as in if someone gains 0.3 HEPI, does that mean that some combination of teams lose 0.3 HEPI? I don't think it is. Unless they're rounding after each step (which is possible I suppose), the fluctuation from these three data points appears to be more than would be possible with rounding error.
UMass was the only team that gained anything from the win tonight (0.68 points). UML and UConn stayed the same. The other teams all lost points tonight. PC was the biggest loser at 0.83 points. The next biggest loser was Maine at 0.12 points. The other teams lost somewhere between 0.02 and 0.06 points. The sum of the absolute values of point differences is 1.86. I don't know if that's typical for a game or on the low end or the high end. Just figured I'd start a conversation if anyone else was interested in trying to figure out what is happening.
It's interesting to me that in this instance a loss at home penalized a team more than the reward for a win on the road. Maybe Maine is higher than UNH because they have no home losses? It's also interesting to me that this negatively impacted BC (-0.03) even though they are 2-0 against both teams. Would they have been negatively impacted regardless of the result? BU is 2-0 against UMass and 1-1 with a home loss against PC. They fell 0.06 points. Is that because their home loss to PC now has more of a negative impact which is not counteracted enough by a more positive impact the sweep of UMass should have?#NewMass
