KIJHL Goaltenders: Top Goalies

It's time that I do a goalie ranking system to be able to recognize those goalies that are playing well (similar to how I do a clutch scoring ranking for skaters).

First the data, it is from Monday January 25th and does not include any games or stat corrections since that date.

Second, the categories:

• W% - I decided it was best to rank goalies by the percentage of games won, instead of total. For example, a goalie who has played 30 games and won 20, IMO, is not performing as well as a goalie who has played 25 games and won 20. So this number was calculated by Wins divided by Games Played. And then ranked accordingly
• GAA - the usual
• SV% - the usual

Third, points. Reverse scoring this time. The top goalie in the category received 20 points, second 19, third 18, etc. Until the 21st ranked goalie which it was zero then for the remaining keepers. Points for each category are then tallied together to create an overall score. The higher the score the better.

Fourth, only featuring the Top 20 goalies in the league that have played more than 10 games.

Finally, here is the stats collection (click to make larger):

The Kimberley Dynamiters hold off the Creston Valley Thunder Cats for a 4-3 win

This game, while stale at first, turned into that classic children's song, the cat came back, as the Thunder Cats showed resiliency in wanting to maintain their position in the standings. However, Kimberley was able to hold off the final attack.

Game Notes

• A healthy turnout for a Tuesday night match, 446.
• The Nitro's were without Richter, Meier, Moser and Doell. Meier started the game, but did not return. So the team played with a short bench.
• Traichevich started against Fennell (appearing in his 4th KI game)

1st

As I noted about stale, there was something slow to the first period. The Cats were really trying to control the pace, almost to a stop. Kimberley took the first penalty of the game. After successfully killing it off, including a nice save by Traichevich, the Dynamiters broke the draw. Marchi took a pass at centre and broke in alone, sniping in the first of the game. Assists to Buhler and Langelaar. The Dynamiters were penalized one more time before the end of the period. Brouwer played just under a minute this period as Traichevich dealt with an equipment issue. Shots were 9-5 Kimberley.

2nd

Didn't take long for the Nitro's to end up in the box, as the #BecauseItsBuckley flooded Nitro Nation. The Dynamiters then got a PP of their own, and Haase snapped a point shot in, assists to Busch and Marchi. But the Cats responded with a goal of their own that awkwardly got past Traichevich with a weird bounce. Marchi stole the show again as he worked to score his second goal of the game, assists to Colapaolo and Wit. Shots in the period were 15-9 Kimberley.

3rd

The Cats got on the board early, making it 3-2 with just under 17 minutes to play. Play on both sides intensified. Buckley gave the Dynamiters a 4-2 lead just before the midway point, assists to Haase and Hunt. Then this is where the officiating, which I felt had been sound, got puzzling. There was a scrum after the play stopped, but the extra activities continued, instead of separating the players or trying to calm them down, the ref kept blowing the whistle, repeatedly, inches away from ears, which is more aggravating and didn't really help ease the scrum. Then after the Cats came back again, making it 4-3. Kimberley was penalized for hooking, a strange call given what else had happened, with three minutes left. As Buckley chased down a skater he was blind sided, didn't see the hit coming, interference was called.... but so was diving on Buckley. #BecauseItsBuckley x2. So Creston kept their late in the period PP. The Nitro's kept pressuring, eating up time, and held on to their 4-3 lead for the victory.

Dynamite Player of the Game

Jared Marchi - 2G 1A. He was a force all over the ice.

Honorable Mentions

Franco Colapaolo - 1A. I lost count of how many take away's and interceptions he got during the game. Great job reading the play and back checking.

Kenaan Haase - 1G 1A

Trevor Van Steinburg - Showing versatility as he played on the back end.

KIJHL Goaltenders: Workhorses

This is the first in a set of posts about KIJHL goalies. I figured I do a lot about the skaters, that is time to analyze the goalies so we can understand them more. (The data is from January 25 and does include games or stat corrections after that date).

Goalies had to appear in a minimum of 10 games, not necessarily play a full 600 minutes. (Only 35 meet the min. requirements)

This first post is about the workload the goalies carry. We will look at minutes played, and then next shots per game.

The first grouping looks at the top 25 goaltenders that have played the most minutes. I have added a category of MIN/60 which shows the number actual 60 minute games they have played. If this number is higher than the GP, this suggests that they have played games in OT. If it is less than the GP it suggests that they have played a partial game (either been relieved or came in for relief). If there was a game started field that was tracked it would be potentially be easier to tell who comes in for relief more often.

Rank	GOALIE	TEAM	GP	MP	MIN/60
1	Daniel Paul	North Okanagan Knights	35	2058	34.30
2	Brock Lefebvre	Creston Valley Thunder Cats	33	2002	33.37

16	Joseph Mcleod	Castlegar Rebels	21	1224	20.40
17	Michael Lenko	Sicamous Eagles	22	1218	20.30
18	Patrick Ostermann	Nelson Leafs	23	1200	20.00
19	Aidan Doak	Revelstoke Grizzlies	20	1196	19.93
20	Logan Sawka	Castlegar Rebels	19	1137	18.95
21	Giovanni Sambrielaz	Columbia Valley Rockies	22	1136	18.93
22	Stephen Heslop	Osoyoos Coyotes	17	1037	17.28
23	Joshua Tetlichi	Kelowna Chiefs	17	1002	16.70
24	Drake Poirier	Beaver Valley Nitehawks	16	957	15.95
25	Chandler Billinghurst	Princeton Posse	20	905	15.08

The other way to look at goaltender workload is the number of shots they face in a game. I have included their save percentage (to four decimal places) in this grouping.

Again, looking at the top 25 goalies. Four goalies face 40 or more shots per game! To me, what is impressive is goalies who face more than 35+ shots per game and have a SV% above .9000 despite the massive workload.

Kimberley Dynamiters fend off the Columbia Valley Rockies for a 4-2 win

Photo by Jonathan Righton

Last week the Rockies defeated Kimberley 5-2, and then went on to beat Creston 5-4. With an 8-2 record in their past 10, the Rockies are one of the hottest, if not THE hottest team in the KI.

Game Notes

• Brouwer got the start against Sambrielaz
• Several players are out with injuries meaning there is ice time up for grabs for the Nitro's younger core.
• 664 in attendance

1st

Not to say the first period was uneventful, it was seriously entertaining, there was little on the scoresheet. It took seven minutes for the first whistle of the game as the Rockies iced the puck. It was back and forth hockey as both teams fought to get an edge over the other. The Nitro's got the first PP of the game with 41 seconds left in the period. - It seemed like there wasn't going to be ANY penalties called, as a lot of extra contact was being let go. The Rockies goalie frustrated the Nitro's fan base with how often the net was coming off. Nonetheless, the period ended knotted at zero, and the Rockies led 7-6 in shots.

2nd

The penalties started being called. The Rockies took several in a row, including giving the Nitro's a 5-on-3 chance. Coach Bancks has said this before, but when a team is tired they make poor decisions, it's also true with anger (which it's ok to be angry, just what you do with it). And with so many minutes player short handed, and the Rockies working so hard to keep the game tied, fatigue and anger would take it's toll on the game. The Nitro's book-ended the first goal of the game with penalties of their own. Buhler directed in a pass from Wit. - I missed the goal because my son needed a potty break.... correlation? It was 1-0 at the end of the period. Shots were 11-4 Kimberley.

For the Nitro's to maintain to win, they needed to keep pressuring the Rockies. For the Rockies to win, they needed to keep their shifts short. The Nitro's are known for fitness and playing a full 60 minutes.

3rd

The Nitro's quickly built on their lead as Buckley found Haase streaking through the slot and he was able to bang/snap a shot in. 2-0 Nitro's. Marchi gave the Nitro's a 3-0 lead as he knuckled the puck past a screened Rockies goalie. The Rockies took a 10 after the goal was scored. Moments later there as a pile up in the Rockies crease and there was one penalty per team. The Rockies, like the cat that came back, found their way back into the game making it 3-1 as they squeeze a puck through Brouwer with just under 10 minutes left. Kimberley had a 5 minute PP and capitalized three seconds after it expired as Trevor Van Steinburg made it 4-1. That didn't stop the Rockies from responding as they made it 4-2 with 90 seconds left. Then in the final minute, time slowed. The Rockies crowded the crease and were being called for interference, then Brouwer stood up for himself, and that's where things got ugly. It all ended when Tyler Van Steinburg body slammed an opponent to the ice. Four players were given two minutes, but told to go to the change room. The last 30 seconds were calm as Kimberley won the game 4-2.

The Nitro's had heaps of chances on the PP but were not able to solve the intense Rockies PK, and went 0/7 on the night.

Dynamite Player of the Game

Brodie Buhler - 1G 1A and drew several penalties.

Honorable Mentions

Devon Langelaar - Impressive puck control with the extra ice time due to injuries

George Bertoia - Solid defensive defenseman

Jordan Busch - 2A, KIJHL player of the game

Keenan Haase - 1G 1A

The Kimberley Dynamiters control the play en route to a 4-0 win over the Nelson Leafs

After a confusing loss to the Rockies the night before (btw the Rockies won Saturday against Creston), the Nitro's this time took control of the game and played a well-organized possession game.

Game Notes

• Former Nitro, Zach Morey, was dressed for the Leafs
• Tyson Brouwer started against Patrick Ostermann
• Nelson appeared to have a lot of AP's in the lineup (many players with full-face gear, and players without names on the jersey)
• 415 attended the game in Nelson

1st

The Dynamiter from Nelson, Hunt had a big first 10 minutes of the game, he was first on the score sheet with a penalty and then he opened the scoring on the powerplay. What became humorous as the game went on, was when Buhler made his first shift and the webcast crew from Nelson couldn't help but make references to Ferris Bueller. Kimberley held on their lead and outshot Nelson 9-5.

2nd

Nelson kept trying to attack, but the Dynamiters played with a lot of pressure in the neutral zone and at their own blue line, often creating turnovers. Busch gave the Dynamiters a two goal lead as he shot the puck in from the point past a blinded Leafs goalie. Continuing with his pattern from the first period, Hunt took a penalty, and then later returned to the ice to score, making it 3-0 Kimberley. The Nitro's led in shots 10-9.

3rd

This is really where Kimberley's ability to pressure the puck, with a fore-check, back-check, and neutral zone pressure helped them maintain possession and control. It took Nelson about five minutes to register their first shot of the period, and they only got one other this period. Wit scored his first as a Dynamiter, the Nitro's third PP goal of the game. Kimberley was on the PP for the last 5:40 of the game. Shots were 12-2 for Kimberley.

Dynamite Player of the Game

Sawyer Hunt - 2G in front of his hometown crowd

Honorable Mentions

Tanner Wit - 1G, 1st as a Nitro

Tyson Brouwer - 16 save shutout

Trey Doell - 2A

Kenaan Haase - 2A

Kimberley Dynamiters lose 5-2 to the Columbia Valley Rockies

The games between the Kimberley Dynamiters and the Columbia Valley Rockies have typically been close, until the third period, which then Kimberley has won every contest. Well, the reverse happened against one of the hottest teams in the KIJHL.

Game Notes

• Both teams came into the game sizzling. Rockies were 7-3; Nitro's 8-1-0-1. IMO, the Rockies are the most improved team in the KIJHL.
• Campanella suited up against the Nitro's. Just before warm up, Coach Scottie yelled "Marco!" getting his attention, and then made a silly face - Priceless
• 580 attended the game, including some Rockies faithful.
• Tyson Brouwer started against Giovanni Sambrielaz - A month ago when these two teams played, Sambrielaz came on as relief for the injured McKay and was scored on three times.
• Tanner Wit played his first home game with the Nitro's, and Franco Colapaola played his first game as a Nitro.

1st

Using hindsight, the first goal of the game would be a defining moment and precursor for things to come. The goal was a bad ricochet in an uncoordinated play. Brouwer went out of his crease to play a puck that the Rockies had cleared down, the puck took a weird bounce, and in slow motion, slid across the goal line. 1-0 Rockies. Then this very confident looking official made some head scratching calls. Buhler was called for tripping when the ref wasn't even looking at him, and was looking at another play. Buckley was called for charging, while standing stationary. Nonetheless, Kimberley somehow managed to outshoot the Rockies 16-6 in the first.

2nd

Colapaola snapped a shot from the slot, and the puck squirted loose behind the goalie, and Farmer made sure it crossed the line, 1-1 game. Speaking of that loose puck, there were a lot of moments when Kimberley was on the attack, that the play was blown dead despite the puck still being loose. The Rockies restored their lead on the PP, with a crafty backhand goal. Then during the last quarter of the period, a fleet of Nitro's and Rockies crashed into Brouwer, knocking his helmet loose and the net off, but there was no call made - infuriating. The period ended 2-1, and shots were 13-10 for Kimberley.

3rd

The Rockies jumped to a quick 3-1 lead. Buhler and Marchand dropped the gloves and exchanged punches. It was classy to see the two of them congratulate eachother with pats after the fight. Then the full on attack by Kimberley began as they tried to level the game. Marchi helped cut into the lead as he deflected a point shot by Busch, 3-2. AND THEN, with just under four minutes of play left, Tyler Van Steinburg rifled a point shot, there was a massive *cling* sound, different from the *ping* sound of the outside post. The puck deflected out of the net, goal light went on, and play resumed. Coaches, players and fans all called a goal. When play stopped, the ref consulted with the linesmen, they then skated over to the net, not the goal judge and discussed what may have made that sound. They decided it was post and waved off the goal. Needless to say the stands were upset, beer cups came flying down, and the fans began cheering "Larry!" (the name of the goal judge). Kimberley was then penalized on a good defensive play by Bertoia, which led to the Rockies scoring their 4th goal. Then with the net empty, they got their 5th. 5-2 Rockies when the period ended. Shots were 11-7 Rockies.

Dynamite Player of the Game

George Bertoia - 1A. He had several moments of flash offence. KIJHL Player of the Game

Honorable Mentions

Trevor Van Steinburg - he sacrificed the body for the team, twice in one PK

Brody Buhler - he is a genuine player. His honesty got the best of him as he automatically skated to the box for a delay of game penalty despite the call being discussed.

KIJHL Clutch Scorers - January 15, 2016

Time for the first clutch scorers ranking of 2016! There is only one more for this season, when the season comes to an end in February.

Observations first:

• While I do use the clutch scorers to help inform KIJHL POM picks, the past POM picks were not based on these current rankings, nor does this ranking inform the next months POM. I do this process ALL OVER AGAIN, but don't release the numbers.
• Four new players: Braden Hughes, Jonathan Lee, Justin Peers and Bryson Yee cracked the list this month and were not ranked last month.
• Most improved from last month: Braden Fuller (+15) - that is the biggest improvement in one month to date. Eric Buckley and Kenaan Haase (+13) also had considerable improvements.
• Jordan Busch and Braden Hughes are the only d-men to make the list.

The Kimberley Dynamiters blank Grand Forks Border Bruins 4-0

Unfortunately I was unable to catch the game. But here are a couple things that stood out to me:

• Congratulations to Mitch Traichevich on being named the star of the game after earning his second shut out of the season.
• James Rota had a strong performance, two goals and an assist.
• Kimberley killed all penalties against them
• Busch and Haase both had 2A
