If you’re a regular reader of this column, you no doubt have seen me using a website called Corsica.hockey to present data to you.
I’ve written previously about the expected goals statistic that they’ve created that I often like to use.
Today, I went through and used a tool they have available called the similarity calculator.
The similarity calculator takes certain statistics, assigns weights to them, and can compare one player’s performance in those metrics to all other players in the league. It will then assign a similarity score, expressed as a percentage, to every other player.
