I love Dragons, Knoots and in my hearth their arena is the best. So good memories, wins, jokes, achievements etc. This is place for my places in the hearth.



But if I must go professional here - I must talk numbers. I believe that Calgary Dragons and Kelowna Knights are best home teams to play at home (SHL and SMJHL respectively) but I don't get any proof. At the moment. Just my hearth!


I know which team has not certainly the Home Ice advantage.
For example New Orleans Specters is the team with best road record (13-10-2 vs 17-6-2). They are only team that road is better than home. 8 skaters have better road record than at home. Both goalies (Aleister Cain and backup Olli Saarinen) have got more wins in road games rather than home.

Olivier Cloutier
Michael Fox
Mika Mayfield
Boris Poroshenko
Kaspars Claude
Demacrius Smyth
Thomas Vanice
Charlie Serpe

Those 8 skaters scored/got more points in road games than home games.



In recent playoff race New Orleans Specters had 9 away games giving 7-0-2 record (two of them OTW) while at home record was 5-3-0. So definitively we found best Away team.



After few more calculations I've noticed that Texas Renegades have best points (in standings) ratio at home (18-5-2 vs 8-14-3). And their home record is close to Eastern conference top team record while they have best home record in whole Western conference.

Reason? Probably key person here is White Goodman having terrific home ice record (17-5-2). This guy playing at home ice is like Russia in the winter. Josef Kubinec could be another key reason. At least for skaters. His production is way better home than road.
