Eh...

I like having history included. Maybe not all of the team's record, but at least the past 5 seasons should determine a team's ranking. You can't go too little and say 1 season because that's too little of a sample size to make an accurate statement, but you can't include every waking moment of the team's history, including the first 3 years where they were building a roster instead of looking to win. 5 seasons seems like a recent sample size of data, and with the way the wins are weighted rn, it's fair to keep the current system in place. I'd just limit the .2 section to a 5 year maximum so teams that are young can lose the anchor of starting a team from the ground up.

Then it is not the current World Rankings, but instead historical rankings.

My point is the fact that Canada is not the #1 team in the IIHF right now. Ireland is currently #1, Canada #2, Sweden #3, and so on per the past tournament. It has nothing to do with history those are the current IIHF rankings because we just had a tournament to define the best team(s) in the IIHF.

I don't think rankings should be based off just the past tournament either though. There is a reason they don't do it that way IRL

Just because someone had a good run in the playoffs where it's Bo1 and won the gold medal after not reaching the podium in the 2 tournaments before doesn't propel them to the top of the standings

I think you're mixing up the words "rankings" and "results".

You're talking about results, like whoever wins the National Title game in NCAA football is the champion that year. Rankings, like the top 25, however, take into account previous record, how close to common the past results are, and then makes a ranking. There's a reason Kentucky is always preseason No. 1: they win consistently. Butler only gets in the top 25 when they have a Cinderella run or keeps the program strong after a low point.

No, he did say that. But it's wrong to a certain extent.

I like the IRL system: you can't have it just based in the last results, but you can't include every single game. 4-5 years of tournaments sounds like the right amount of data to judge how good a team is. I also like weighting the recent games more than the past.

Actually I did not comment on the real IIHF's rankings as I do not know them. I just think it is silly that Ireland is sitting at 5 despite winning Gold in the past tourney, but whatever.

Not you, I was talking about Koski.

Medal 4 years in a row and then you're up there. You can't expect to automatically have a dynasty with 1 gold... Give it time.
