Thread: Book Q&A
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sirstee</b></div><div>First of all, congratulations on the publication of your book and it is a pity I could not participate in this discussion. I really liked the book "The Demon in the Freezer" where they talk about epidemics and bioweapons based on them. I read it briefly at <a href="https://freebooksummary.com/category/demon-in-the-freezer" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://freebooksummary.com/category/demon-in-the-freezer</a>, but as a book for a better understanding of history it is excellent. I like that it shows the true faces of the nations and their ambitions in the industry. You could say there was some analytical analysis on the subject as well.</div></div>

Why are u bringing this up in this Fourm?

Thread: Book Q&A
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeterChiarelli</b></div><div>I cannot recommend Rob Vollman's stuff enough. It's ridiculously well-laid out and I'd honestly struggle with analytics a lot more if it wasn't for his publications.

As for questions:

1. Can - and possibly more importantly - should analytics evolve beyond the realm of on-ice player analysis? Should coaches and GMs be held to similar statistical scrutiny? Could they be held to such analysis?
2. Could the continuing evolution of sports science (more specifically, the off-ice data it provides) result in the crossing of ethical boundaries such that players lose even more autonomy when it comes to diet, surgeries, workouts etc?

If I have any other thinkers kicking around in the old noggin I'll be sure to pass them on.</div></div>

Yeah Vollmans stuff is amazing. Thanks for the questions!

Thread: Book Q&A
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NoVaSpartan</b></div><div>OK, I'll try then.

What do you think is the right mix of analytics and the eye test needed to properly evaluate a player?
What improvements do you think will happen/do you want to see with Analytics models?
What ways can teams use to introduce analytics to more casual fans?
Are teams with more Analytics focus set up better for the future?

Is there a place online I can go to learn about this book? I have a couple at home that I've enjoyed and I am always looking for new reading material.</div></div>

Not yet, it's my book and I haven't published it yet. However, here is a list of some really solid books in the meantime:

HockeyNomics by Darcy Norman
Hockey Abstract series and Stat Shot series by Rob Vollman
Hockey Compendium by Jeff Klein
Hockey Analytics: A Game-Changing Perspective by Stephen Shea
Tape To Space: Redefining Hockey Tactics by Ryan Stimson
Hockey Confidential by Bob McKenzie has a really good chapter on it
The Hockey News just released a magazine called the Numbers Issue that has some great articles in it.

Thanks for your questions.

I'd say keep him for a bit longer. I think you shouldn't overreact to the start of the season in fantasy too much. If you look at the standings of this year, the players on really good teams have generally not been very good yet (see Marner, Mitch). Or got injured (see Kucherov, Nikita). Things change, but things should go back to normal a bit later in the season.
