KIJHL Goaltender Rankings - October 2016

Last season a popular post was ranking the KIJHL goalies. It's early in the season, and some teams are still trying to identify their #1 goalie as the trickle down effect continues.

I can't rank every goalie that has played a single game because that would skew the numbers (too small a sample size to reflect performance), so to be included in this list a goalie needs to have played 1/3 of the season. The average KIJHL team has played 11.6 games to this date. That means a goalie needs to have appeared in four games or more to be included in this list.

This means that the following goalies who have won 100% of their games but played three or less games did not make the list:
  • Liam Aitken - Osoyoos Coyotes
  • Patrick Ostermann - Creston Valley Thunder Cats
  • Jared Breitkruz - Summerland Steam
  • Devin Allen - Nelson Leafs
As the season wears on, the 1/3 of the games will be the bench mark until 1/3 = 10 games.

Just a break down of the stats analyzed:
  • Win percentage
  • Goals against average
  • Save percentage
  • TOTAL = the sum of the ranked categories. Top 20 goalies are ranked in each category, the goalie who is ranked 1st gets 20 points, while the goalie ranked 20th gets 1 point.
Finally, here are the Top KIJHL goaltenders through to today (click on image to make larger):
