Question About Faceoff Stats

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone knows any site that I can go, where there is a list of all-time best NHL faceoff percentages?

I don't know when the NHL began tracking faceoff statistics, but I've always wondered what Yzerman's all time faceoff percentage was, or for that matter how good Gretzky or Lemieux were on draws, since I don't remember. I'm also assuming that Yanic Perreault would be the best ever statistically.

Anyway, I hope someone can help me with this.

Thanks, I knew about the NHL yearly faceoff stats, but I wasn't sure when they started keeping such stats, and whether they only track these things season by season, as opposed to also looking at someone's career faceoff stats.

Anyway, I speculated that the league doesn't keep career faceoff stats, but I wasn't sure if someone else knew more than me.

All I have to say about this topic is that anyone who makes a top-five for all-time faceoff men and doesn't include Ron Francis on the list loses all credibility on the topic.

You must have misunderstood the topic. I wasn't putting together a list, I was merely asking a question about the best all-time faceoff percentages. I guess if you don't know, then no one does. :D

Faceoff percentages certainly haven't been widely available for more than a few years. Late 90s is the first time I remember being able to actually access lists of players' percentages of faceoffs won.

Thanks. I was afraid that might be the case, but this makes it final.

I believe 1998 was the first year the stat was tracked. I know Yanic has led the league for at least the last 7 seasons in a row, coule be more.

1998 sounds about right for the first time I remember seeing faceoff percentage stats popping up in things like THN.
