Fiske has been given the dubious honor of coming up with Puckin Awesome's newest stat to track. He's going with HPG (hugs per game). This includes only hugs given while the clock is running, and is mainly when the guys are bear-hugging the opposition away from a scrum. It's kind of the antithesis of PIMs, and Aksel's hoping it gets taken into consideration when the commentators discuss the nicest guy in the league (not an award currently, but should be). It's a player who's more on the pacifist side, but also looking out for the players on the other team. The current leader in HPG is Nik Smith. The rookie's had an exciting season with the Rage and while he has a few PIMs under his belt, they're more for tripping than roughing. Aksel's hoping for at least 50 HPS (hugs per season) for himself, and has been more cognizant of keeping his PIMs down.

The hockey blog website "minute stats incorporated limited" have come up with a new metric to gauge on ice success. The stat is one of the first of its kind in the "meta-advanced" category, surpassing such metrics as Corsi or Expected Per, etc.

The statistic of "nasal breathes per goals expected" is complicated, but has shown significant correlation with penalty minutes , or lack of penalty minutes. Minute stats incorporates limited have new AI infrared technology that measures the jaw to eye bridge ratio of players in the SHL and the J, and they have discovered that players who show evicdence of significant nasal breathing are prone to DRAW less penalties as they have no need to embellish. The statistics board has discovered that players who do not mew and watch YouTube shorts usually are prone to embellishment penalties, and they also lose more fights than regular, all while being less likely to fight. Truly this statistic separates the big alpha dogs (anchorage armada) from the beta males (Yukon malamutes)

As a center and a rookie, Dominik doesn’t usually get included in the team’s set plays for faceoffs and power plays, but there are a couple that he gets to be a part of. The Pride have one that resembles a tunnel screen from football, which basically sees a winger on the far side of the blue line come flying in immediately after the puck is dropped and the goal is for the center to win the puck back to the defenseman, who will hit the winger in stride. As he comes towards the dot, if the play is run with the right amount of speed, the winger will turn up the ice and have a good lane somewhere to get on towards the goalie. You could argue that Dominik has the most important role in the entire play as it is up to him to win the draw to kick the play off in the first place. If he doesn’t win, play doesn’t happen.
