Can Can Corsi Corsi Be Coached? Coached? Be Identifying tactics which drive shot volume a 3-year study Jack Han Video & Analytics, McGill Martlet Hockey @ML_Han
What is hockey? Playing keep-away (w/ the puck) Playing take-away (w/out the puck) What leads to offense, what leads to defense? @ML_Han
What are good hockey tactics? - Players are in position to get pucks - Playing without without the puck becomes a fun & rewarding experience* *Playing with the puck should always be fun & rewarding @ML_Han
Does Corsi Even Matter? - Consider Causality: - Does out-shooting make you good? - Consider Randomness: - Is it preferable be in O-zone or D-zone? @ML_Han
Our Theory: Equal skill achieves better results when playing closer to the opposing goal. @ML_Han
McGill Martlets 2014-17: Overall Record: 75-44 (47-16 in-conference) @ML_Han
Our Process @ McGill (30,000 game events over 3 yrs, logged to video) - Practice planning - Learning from failure - Team-level - Individual level - Opposition pre-scouting @ML_Han
Why Forechecking Matters - Can be improved in-season (It s coachable) - Highly correlated with Shot Rates at team- level (It drives success) (It drives success) - Better players do it better (It s a skill) (It s coachable) (It s a skill) @ML_Han
Further Discussions - Improving tactics (Breakout + Forecheck) - Measuring progress in practice - Select for traits or develop them? - Does it matter if I m wrong? - What next? @ML_Han
