New Hockey Website Hopes to Score with Fans and Pro Teams

(Vocus) October 6, 2010

PowerScout Sports Inc. is pleased to announce that PowerScoutHockey.com will go live at 12pm EST on October 7th, 2010. The founders are hoping to score with hockey fans who will experience a site that will revolutionize hockey this season and beyond, all at no charge and with no obligations or advertisements.

"After three decades of research and two years of web development, we believe that this site will be a game-changer in how hockey fans and professionals follow their favourite NHL teams and players," says President Terry Appleby who developed the PowerScout system of statistics.

He claims that what truly makes PowerScout stand apart is its innovative real-time game charts that measure "Team Intensity" and "Goaltender Performance." The site will also launch with 23 widgets that will track themes like "Best Special Teams", "Hardest Working Teams" and "Best Line-Ups."

The visionary behind the much-anticipated website is Marc Appleby, co-founder and VP of Marketing who explains: "We tried to combine the functionality of Google, the sharing of Facebook, the personalization of MySpace, and the real-time stats of NHL.com with our exclusive PowerScout tools to create the ultimate web experience for every hockey fan."

The following video provides a preview of the site's innovative widget-based drag & drop design:

There are widgets for every fan like "Best Games to Watch" for NHL Center Ice subscribers, "All-Time Greats" for historians, "Streaks & Trends" for fantasy/pool junkies, "Team Effort" for journalists, and "Team Success Factors" that even the most demanding NHL general managers will appreciate.

Members will benefit from:

????Getting scores faster and easier than any other sites
????Enjoying live games more than ever using PowerScout's real-time Intensity and Goalie charts
????Customizing their home page to track only the hockey themes they want
????Following their favourite NHL team with unprecedented details
????Knowing who are the best players/teams with easy-to-interpret graphs and dashboards
????Evaluating players, trades and draft picks with more accuracy than ever before
????Making better predictions of player talent and team performance

At the core of PowerScoutHockey.com is the introduction of three revolutionary stats: PS, MAX, and INT, that Terry and Marc believe will help fans understand why good teams are winning hockey games in a simple, accurate and reliable way.

PS stands for 'Point Shares' and measures directly what share of a team's points were earned in the standings by that player alone.

MAX stands for 'Maximum Point Shares' and measures a player's point shares if he played the maximum amount of time allowed (i.e., 60 minutes a game). This provides an easy way to compare players regardless of position or role.

INT stands for 'Team Intensity' and measures in real-time how hard a team is working, making it easy to chart and record every game's momentum changes.

"Currently, 99% of fans use goals and assists to evaluate players," says Terry. "In my research, I found that goals and assists aren't equal as the scoring race suggests and they don't account for the 'little things' a player does offensively and defensively to help his team win. We combine 18 different player statistics into a single stat called MAX and update it every day."

The PowerScout system is based on analyzing over 14,000 games, 12,000 skaters and 28,000 goaltending performances since 1997. Terry has done extensive research into all aspects of hockey through which he also proved the following:

1.????Different skills are important at different positions;

2.????Not every position has the same importance to winning; and,

3.????Every player statistic can be expressed in terms of team wins.

Through Terry's work, the PowerScout system answers some of hockey's toughest questions such as:

Who are the best hockey players of all-time?
How hard is my team playing?
How much should that player be paid?
Who are the true MVP's?
What's the impact of injured players?

The website also promises to provide cutting-edge tools like their "TradeMaker" which will evaluate trades involving up to 8 players on six criteria: MAX, PS, team speed, team toughness, team defence, and salary.

"Never before has it been easier to evaluate a trade and assess its impacts on both teams," explains Terry. "This is more than a fantasy tool, it is designed with professional teams in mind as a valuable way to assess the true cost/benefit of every trade they are considering."

Most of the content being launched on October 7th is free for all users, forever. An additional nine widgets are scheduled for release in November and December and will be free until January 2011.

Jason Ritchie Hockey Scholarship Foundation Hockey Arena Dedication Life is Energy ? In Honor of Jason Ritchie

Tallahassee, FL (PRWEB) March 5, 2011

Life is Energy ? In Honor of Jason Ritchie

North Central Massachusetts honored Jason Ritchie, a young hockey athlete that died tragically in a 2009 auto accident, at the dedication at The Winchendon School ice arena, naming it the ?Jason Ritchie ?05 Ice Arena.?

Jack Blair, said, ?This event reminds me that life is fragile, bad things happen to good people, and something good can come out of the bad.?

After graduating from The Winchendon School Jason went on to college and continued his interest in hockey. As his parents, Bob and Donna, and his brother Jon, dealt with their grief they also sought to find a way to honor Jason by helping other young men and women get a good education and learn to play hockey, especially those who otherwise would be unable to do so.

Their commitment resulted in the formation of The Ritchie Hockey Foundation, which will provide financial assistance to youngsters who love the sport, and need some help with the hefty costs of both an education and of playing hockey.

The Ritchie family returned to Winchendon a year ago to name the boys? home locker room in honor of their son. From that visit grew a bigger idea: why not name the entire ice arena for their son and create a vision for all who play hockey there that a young alumnus? interest in the sport combined with the love and forward thinking of his family, resulted in a partnership that will help hundreds of youngsters, in his name, as the years march by.

This large financial commitment on the part of the Ritchie?s was celebrated along with the good that it will do when Craig Patrick, one of the coaches of the famous Olympic Miracle on Ice team (when the U.S. defeated the Russians for Olympic Gold), came to speak at the dedication. Patrick is a Hall of Famer and coached and managed many NHL teams in his career.

Motivational speaker and entertainer Paul Cardall came from Utah to join in the dedication and to provide encouragement and entertainment to those gathered to honor Jason.

The ?sold out? event hosted visitors from around the country along with local members of the Winchendon?s Board of Selectmen, the school?s Board of Trustees, Representative Bastien, Senator Brewer, and so many others came to share in the celebration.

?Long after all of us have passed away the name of Jason Ritchie will stand as a daily reminder to those who pass through the front door of the ice arena that while life is fleeting, and often all too short, the impact a person can have on the future is unlimited. The Jason Ritchie ?05 Ice Arena will stand as a beacon to the life of a wonderful young man and the magnificent heart of his family.?

Jason?s father, Bob Ritchie stressed, ?Life is short and bad things do happen to good people, bit a short life can have an eternal message of faith and hope and be an inspiration to others. Bad things can be used to bring about an endless promise for the future when good people simply refuse to let fate vanquish them.?

ABOUT JRHSF: The Jason Ritchie Hockey Scholarship Foundation http://www.ritchiehockeyfoundation.org/ was established by the Ritchie family in memory of Jason Ritchie who was tragically killed in a car accident in 2009. The Foundation?s mission is to provide resources and mentoring to deserving youth who share in Jason?s drive and dedication.

Can Hockey Fights Help NHL Teams Win Games?

Ottawa, Canada (PRWEB) December 29, 2011

The controversy over NHL hockey fights has prompted PowerScoutHockey.com, known as the ?Moneyball? of the NHL, to become the first known company to measure and publish the statistical impact of fighting on NHL games.

The results will surprise many NHL hockey fans because the PowerScout advanced graphs do show that some fights can have a significant impact on a game, even be game-changers in some cases. To evaluate this impact, they used a graph called the Momentum Meter?.

?The Momentum Meter tracks how often shots on goal happen to estimate the ups and downs of team momentum in real-time for every NHL game,? says Marc Appleby, President of PowerScout Sports, Inc. ?This makes it the first and only way I know of to see and measure the true impact of every NHL fight at-a-glance.?

NHL fans can see how a specific fight changed the New York Rangers' momentum in the December 23rd game against the Philadelphia flyers when Brian Boyle was involved in a fight with Tom Sestito in the 2nd period, resulting in a Ranger goal. Fans can view the actual Momentum Meter for that game by visiting http://tinyurl.com/btsazzm

?The Momentum Meter shows that this fight actually had a negative impact on the Flyers momentum,? says Appleby. ?They did not create any offensive pressure minutes after the fight, while the Rangers maintained even momentum and capitalized with a Ruslan Fedotenko goal.?

To gain a larger scope of the influence of fights on NHL games, the company analyzed 1,563 fights going back to the 09/10 season using their game archives. They have determined that a fight has a positive effect on at least one team's momentum in 76% of fights and increases the momentum for both teams about 1 out of every 4 fights (23%). This research was done using the Momentum Meter, looking specifically at the increase in team momentum in the three minutes following the fight.

Appleby agrees that the controversy is far from over and believes that PowerScout's unique momentum perspective and research will likely add to the controversy as fans can now clearly see how fights impact games.

?I believe that this new way to look at hockey will fuel the passion of NHL fans and will generate more debate at every level.?

The Momentum Meter is part of a more advanced package designed for hockey professionals and NHL General Managers, but PowerScout is making many parts of it available to all NHL fans because they believe it will change the way people look at NHL hockey.

Busy fans can see the Biggest Impact Fight from any NHL game played the previous night by visiting the daily Games-at-a-Glance or see the latest research into the impacts of fights at their Fighter?s Corner blog sections located on the home page of http://www.powerscouthockey.com

BACKGROUND ON THE CONTROVERSY

A Canadian survey published by Angus Reid in November shows that hockey fights are still a draw to more than half of all NHL fans. However the mood may be shifting because another survey by Forum Research published by TSN.ca on December 16th shows that 60% of Canadians who watch and follow hockey believe fighting should be banned from the NHL.

Although a hockey fight can create an exciting hockey game, the controversy intensified this past summer after the tragic deaths of NHL enforcers Derek Boogaard (New York Rangers), Rick Rypien (Vancouver Canucks & Winnipeg Jets), and Wade Belak (Nashville Predators).

As a result of these events, former NHL player Chris Nilan was interviewed and quoted in a September Toronto Sun article saying that it was time for NHL commissioner Gary Bettman to snuff out fighting for good. A well-known former enforcer, Nilan played with the Montreal Canadiens, Boston Bruins, and New York Rangers.

Nilan later clarified his position in a follow-up October Sun article by Mike Zeisberger. He said that he had not called for a complete ban on fighting but that he believed the NHL itself doesn?t want fighting in the game, therefore challenging them: ?why don?t they just take it out.?

NHL hockey fights have been a safety and health concern for years. Some encouraging research by a professor at Georgetown and Washington Hospital Center has provided some encouraging news recently in an article published this October by the National Post.

The Post quoted the conclusion of Dr. David Milzman that the NHL is correct to be concerned about the link between blows to the head and concussions, but that his research has convinced him that hockey fights are not causing concussions.

One of the world?s leading concussion experts has recently made a different conclusion. Professor Blaine Hoshizaki and his team at the University of Ottawa?s Neurotrauma Science Impact Lab shared some surprising lab research during a Rogers Sportsnet broadcast in late November.

Hoshizaki was asked to reproduce the speed and power of hockey punches to the head and to study their effects. He found that players who get punched either in the jaw or receive a traditional headshot are likely to get one of two types of concussions. He strongly recommends that players not take their helmets off during hockey fights.

This research was done using the Momentum Meter, looking specifically at the increase in team momentum in the three minutes following the fight.

Appleby agrees that the controversy is far from over and believes that PowerScout's unique momentum perspective and research will likely add to the controversy as fans can now clearly see how fights impact games.

The Momentum Meter is part of a more advanced package designed for hockey professionals and NHL General Managers, but PowerScout is making many parts of it available to all NHL fans because they believe it will change the way people look at NHL hockey.

BACKGROUND ON THE CONTROVERSY

A Canadian survey published by Angus Reid in November shows that hockey fights are still a draw to more than half of all NHL fans. However the mood may be shifting because another survey by Forum Research published by TSN.ca on December 16th shows that 60% of Canadians who watch and follow hockey believe fighting should be banned from the NHL.

Although a hockey fight can create an exciting hockey game, the controversy intensified this past summer after the tragic deaths of NHL enforcers Derek Boogaard (New York Rangers), Rick Rypien (Vancouver Canucks & Winnipeg Jets), and Wade Belak (Nashville Predators).

As a result of these events, former NHL player Chris Nilan was interviewed and quoted in a September Toronto Sun article saying that it was time for NHL commissioner Gary Bettman to snuff out fighting for good. A well-known former enforcer, Nilan played with the Montreal Canadiens, Boston Bruins, and New York Rangers.

Nilan later clarified his position in a follow-up October Sun article by Mike Zeisberger. He said that he had not called for a complete ban on fighting but that he believed the NHL itself doesn?t want fighting in the game, therefore challenging them: ?why don?t they just take it out.?

The CBC?s Don Cherry became the center of controversy after he called Chris Nilan, Stu Grimson, and Jim Thomson ?pukes? and ?turncoats? and accused them of being hypocrites for raising the question of whether fights should be banned ? Cherry later apologized to them.

NHL hockey fights have been a safety and health concern for years. Some encouraging research by a professor at Georgetown and Washington Hospital Center has provided some encouraging news recently in an article published this October by the National Post.

The Post quoted the conclusion of Dr. David Milzman that the NHL is correct to be concerned about the link between blows to the head and concussions, but that his research has convinced him that hockey fights are not causing concussions.

One of the world?s leading concussion experts has recently made a different conclusion. Professor Blaine Hoshizaki and his team at the University of Ottawa?s Neurotrauma Science Impact Lab shared some surprising lab research during a Rogers Sportsnet broadcast in late November.

Hoshizaki was asked to reproduce the speed and power of hockey punches to the head and to study their effects. He found that players who get punched either in the jaw or receive a traditional headshot are likely to get one of two types of concussions. He strongly recommends that players not take their helmets off during hockey fights.

Can Hockey Fights Help the Vancouver Canucks Win Games?

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) December 29, 2011

The controversy over NHL hockey fights has prompted PowerScoutHockey.com, known as the ?Moneyball? of the NHL, to become the first known company to measure and publish the statistical impact of fighting on NHL games.

The results will surprise many Vancouver Canucks fans because the PowerScout advanced graphs do show that some fights can have a significant impact on a game, even be game-changers in some cases. To evaluate this impact, they used a graph called the Momentum Meter?.

?The Momentum Meter tracks how often shots on goal happen to estimate the ups and downs of team momentum in real-time for every NHL game,? says Marc Appleby, President of PowerScout Sports, Inc. ?This makes it the first and only way I know of to see and measure the true impact of every NHL fight at-a-glance.?

Vancouver fans can see how a specific fight changed their team?s momentum in the October 15th game against the Edmonton Oilers when Dale Weise was involved in a fight with Theo Peckham late in the 2nd period. To view the actual Momentum Meter of that game, go to: http://tinyurl.com/blo2mez

?The Momentum Meter shows that the fight had a positive impact on the Canucks? momentum,? says Appleby. ?They got several even-strength shots on goal directly following the fight, creating a change in momentum, and resulting in a goal by Alexandre Burrows before the period was out.?
