Measuring and Analyzing the Technical Efficiency of Hockey Players
Original language description
Ice hockey is a trendy sport all over the world. Analysing the efficiency of hockey players is a valuable tool that helps sports managers with player selection, team composition and team performance evaluation. The literature offers only a limited number of scientific studies assessing the efficiency of hockey players or clubs. This research aims to help hockey clubs, managers, and coaches evaluate the efficiency of their players using data envelopment analysis and regression analysis. This research evaluates the technical performance of hockey players using DEA models, ranks the best players, tries to reveal the primary sources of player inefficiency, and uses regression to analyse the change of trend in hockey to evaluate better the future development of the efficiency of hockey players. The models are empirically applied to NHL players over several seasons to see the efficiency gains. The evaluation used in this paper attempts to incorporate greater objectivity into decision-making. It may be an essential step in developing a systematic methodology for evaluating hockey players in the future. However, the results of this first analysis are only visible in the realm of DEA and the possibility of assessing the effectiveness of hockey players. Further developments in regression have yet to identify specific areas of training opportunities.
