Sneak peak #2: Hopefully our #BigDataCup project is as impressive as these Canadian women hockey players! with Phil Shreeves and Alon Harell #sportsanalytics #BDC2022 #olympics #whockey #hockey

Introducing Best Case Pass Value, a frame by frame analysis of where to pass if you want to take the risk to put your team into a best position to shoot! Alon Harell and Phil Shreeves #bigdatacup #bdc2022 #whockey #hockey #olympics

New day means new gif! Have a look at our "All Control" metric from our #BigDataCup entry (with Alon Harell and Phil Shreeves ). This describes which areas of the rink are controlled by which team! 🏒📈 Thanks to Stathletes for the great data! #BDC2022

Expected pass value represents our overall estimate of the quality of any single pass. Accounts for rink control, scoring probability and possible interceptions! Want to learn more? Check our paper! Find the arxiv link on our github github.com/picagrad/Big-D… #BigDataCup #BDC2022
