"Hockey boxscores have always included goals, assists, points, +/- and penalty minutes. But more recently, statistics such as shots, hits, time on ice (TOI) and number of shifts have been recorded as well. How much do these metrics add to our understanding of player performance? Well, hits are a rough, though reasonable proxy for a player?s physicality. Shots seem like a pretty obvious measure of offensive productivity (you can?t score if you don?t shoot). But what about TOI?"
