Which KIJHL Teams depend on their top, or top 3 scorers?

Since we are approaching the midway point in the season, I was interested in which teams depend on their top line the most for their point production, and which teams have a more balanced offensive attack.

I should note an assumption, I am assuming that the top three scorers are on the same offensive line (which is not always the case). And therefore if a team is top line heavy, and you can shut them down, odds of winning against them are good.

But I was also curious which teams rely on their #1 scorer, again from a defensive standpoint if you can shut him down, the odds of defeating them increase.

While I have debated how to present this data, I have just sorted it by the % of the team points that the top three scorers get. The data is up for interpretation, I have provided some of my observations at the bottom. (Stats are as of November 13)

The fields are:

• Top 3 TTL - Total combined points by the teams top three point getters
• TTL Team - Total combined points by all the players on the team
• % of Pts - The % of the team combined points that the top three account for
• Top 1 % - The % of the team combined points that the teams top scorer accounts for

Team	Top 3 TTL	Team TTL	% of Pts	Top 1 %
Columbia Valley Rockies	60	126	47.62%	20.63%
Grand Forks Border Bruins	77	172	44.77%	19.77%
Summerland Steam	66	154	42.86%	20.78%
North Okanagan Knights	43	102	42.16%	16.67%
Kelowna Chiefs	69	172	40.12%	17.44%
Chase Heat	68	183	37.16%	14.21%
Castlegar Rebels	69	188	36.70%	19.15%
Kimberley Dynamiters	74	215	34.42%	13.49%
Beaver Valley Nitehawks	61	179	34.08%	12.85%
Golden Rockets	65	191	34.03%	12.57%
Fernie Ghostriders	68	201	33.83%	13.43%
Osoyoos Coyotes	99	296	33.45%	11.82%
Kamloops Storm	74	223	33.18%	12.56%
100 Mile House Wranglers	55	168	32.74%	11.90%
Spokane Braves	60	184	32.61%	11.41%
Princeton Posse	58	183	31.69%	11.48%
Nelson Leafs	71	228	31.14%	10.96%
Revelstoke Grizzlies	47	152	30.92%	12.50%
Creston Valley Thunder Cats	50	162	30.86%	11.11%
Sicamous Eagles	48	179	26.82%	9.50%

A couple of observations:

• Columbia Valley Rockies have nearly 50% of their points scored by their top three, also 20% of their teams points is scored by their top scorer.
• Summerland Steam is the only other team to have their top scorer account for 20% of their points; Grand Forks Border Bruins and Castlegar Rebels are close to the 20% though.
• Four other teams besides the Rockies have 40% of their points scored by their top three: Kelowna, North Okanagan, Summerland, and Grand Forks.
• The Sicamous Eagles were the only team to have less than 30% of their points scored by their top three, and also less than 10% scored by their top point player. This suggests that it doesn't matter what line the Eagles throw out there, they all have a balanced chance of scoring.
