PHL - Player Rating System

A player rating system has been established for all skaters. The forty skaters are placed in order from the most complete player downward. The top ten are placed in group A then the next ten in group B and so on to group D. The groups are then ranked 1 to 10 top to bottom.

Two scoring methods can be used:

The "Ranking Method"
This system has the top player receiving 40 points an the last in group A receiving 31 points, with the last in group D receiving 1 point.

The "Grouping Method"
This system has those in group A receiving 20 points, Group B 15 points and Group C 10 points and Group D 5 points.

The objective here is to evaluate and compare the teams based on the on ice product.

Keeping in mind that the number of players per team used in the assessment is:

Black = 8 skaters
White = 11 skater
Red = 11 skaters
Yellow = 10 skaters

Note: The captains have yet to come to a consensus as to what moves can be made to establish 10 skaters per team, once done the numbers will be re-posted.

Using the "Ranking Method" ie 40 .......1 pts.

Black = 164
White = 235
Red = 197
Yellow = 224

Using the "Grouping Method" ie A = 20 pts, B = 15, C = 10, D = 5

Black = 100
White = 145
Red = 115
Yellow = 140

Although neither of these is a true indication of how many games will be close from week to week the objective here is to make the teams as equal as possible. It is hoped that upcoming player moves made by the captains will reflect numbers that are closer and a little more balanced.

Thanks for your time!!
