KIJHL 5-on-5 stats and effectiveness & dependency on special teams

With only a couple weeks left in the season, I thought it may be helpful to break down how teams perform on 5on5, on the PP, and on the PK. The following is a lengthy post but looks at the following:

1. 5on5 Differential
2. Offensive PP, or Defensively weak PP
3. Offensive strength on the PK
4. Offensive dependency on PP, PK or 5on5
5. Defensive dependency on PP, PK or 5on5

Each section header is bolded and numbered, so if there is a part that is more interesting to you, scroll down to it.

1. 5 on 5 Differential

While we rely on the goal differential of the total goals to help see which teams are offensively or defensively strong. But I have long wondered if the difference is due to their special teams being efficient or weak. So I separated out the special team goals from the total and noticed a couple of interesting trends.

TEAM	DIFF	5on5 Diff
100 Mile House Wranglers	-15	-2
Beaver Valley Nitehawks	33	12
Castlegar Rebels	12	25
Chase Heat	5	-3
Columbia Valley Rockies	-79	-50
Creston Valley Thunder Cats	6	7
Fernie Ghostriders	65	49
Golden Rockets	-23	-16
Grand Forks Border Bruins	-105	-72
Kamloops Storm	44	32
Kelowna Chiefs	-20	-16
Kimberley Dynamiters	40	13
Nelson Leafs	48	22
North Okanagan Knights	-100	-77
Osoyoos Coyotes	98	82
Princeton Posse	-1	5
Revelstoke Grizzlies	-18	-25
Sicamous Eagles	-11	2
Spokane Braves	-7	-11
Summerland Steam	28	23

2. Offensively strong PP, or defensively weak PP

I then took interest in the ratio of PPGF against SHGA. This would suggest that teams that have a low ratio, struggle defensively on the PP. The higher the ratio, the more potent the PP and (maybe) defensively strong. Think of this as the number of PPG scored for each 1 SHGA.

TEAM	PPG/SHGA
Summerland Steam	31.0
Revelstoke Grizzlies	23.0
Beaver Valley Nitehawks	20.0
Spokane Braves	19.5
Sicamous Eagles	17.0
Nelson Leafs	16.0
Chase Heat	14.3
Osoyoos Coyotes	14.3
Kamloops Storm	14.0
Creston Valley Thunder Cats	13.5
Princeton Posse	8.7
100 Mile House Wranglers	7.4
Kimberley Dynamiters	7.0
Kelowna Chiefs	6.6
Golden Rockets	6.0
Fernie Ghostriders	4.9
Castlegar Rebels	4.0
North Okanagan Knights	3.4
Grand Forks Border Bruins	2.3
Columbia Valley Rockies	1.8

3. Offensive strength of the PK unit

Let's try it the other way. PPGA/SHGF. The smaller the ratio, the more of an offensive threat the PK unit is, the larger the weaker the PK unit is offensively. Again, think of this as the # of PPGA per 1 SHGF.

TEAM	PPGA/SHGF
Kimberley Dynamiters	1.9
Beaver Valley Nitehawks	3.1
Golden Rockets	3.3
Osoyoos Coyotes	4.4
Creston Valley Thunder Cats	4.7
Fernie Ghostriders	4.8
Nelson Leafs	4.8
Summerland Steam	6.0
Sicamous Eagles	6.8
Chase Heat	9.0
Columbia Valley Rockies	11.0
Kelowna Chiefs	11.7
Spokane Braves	12.0
Castlegar Rebels	12.3
Princeton Posse	15.5
Grand Forks Border Bruins	22.5
100 Mile House Wranglers	23.5
Kamloops Storm	28.0
Revelstoke Grizzlies	38.0
North Okanagan Knights	41.0

4. Offensive Dependency in 5on5, PP or PK

Sorted by % of goals scored 5on5, this shows percentage wise which teams rely more on 5on5, PP or even PK for their offensive out put.

TEAM	5GF	PPGF	SHGF
Sicamous Eagles	82.8%	13.3%	3.9%
Castlegar Rebels	80.6%	17.5%	1.9%
Grand Forks Border Bruins	80.4%	17.6%	2.0%
Fernie Ghostriders	76.4%	21.4%	2.2%

Kelowna Chiefs	69.5%	28.0%	2.5%
Kamloops Storm	68.4%	30.9%	0.7%
100 Mile House Wranglers	68.3%	30.1%	1.6%
Beaver Valley Nitehawks	68.2%	26.5%	5.3%
Kimberley Dynamiters	68.1%	25.8%	6.1%

Spokane Braves	66.4%	31.2%	2.4%
Revelstoke Grizzlies	58.8%	40.4%	0.9%

5. Defensive Dependency on 5on5, PP, or PK

This looks at the % of goals that are let in on the PK, PP and 5on5. Sorted by 5on5.

Kimberley Dynamiters	79.7%	15.4%	4.9%
Beaver Valley Nitehawks	77.1%	21.2%	1.7%
