Differences in game performance parameters of winning and losing ice-hockey teams<br />

35<br />

Effectiveness of solutions to situations 1v1<br />

During the investigated periods, total 626 situations 1v1 occurred. Significant differences<br />

between the winning and losing teams were found in the overall effectiveness of solutions<br />

to situations 1v1 (p < 0.01) and in offence (p < 0.01). The winning teams effectively resolved<br />

17 situations 1v1 per period in average that is of 8 more that in the losing teams. This difference<br />

in offence represents four effectively resolved situations per period for the benefit of<br />

winners (Table 5). As regards effective solutions to situations 1v1 in defence, no significant<br />

differences were found. The losing teams were surprisingly slightly more successful than<br />

the winning ones.<br />

From the aspect of localisation of solutions to situations 1v1 into individual zones, significant<br />

differences were found only in offence in the attacking zone (p < 0.01) for the benefit<br />

of winning teams. As regards the mean value per period, they resolved successfully of 2.5<br />

situations 1v1 more. The winning teams resolved successfully six situations 1v1 in average,<br />

while the losing teams only two. No significant differences were recorded in other zones,<br />

both in offence and defence (Table 6).<br />

Puck carrying factors<br />

Significant differences between the winning and losing teams were recorded in the overall<br />

puck control (p < 0.01), puck carrying in neutral (p < 0.05) and attacking zones (p < 0.01).<br />

The winning teams controlled the puck of 53 minutes and 26 seconds longer than the losing<br />

ones in total, of 5 minutes and 29 seconds longer in the neutral zone and of 42 minutes and<br />

20 seconds longer in the attacking zone. No significant differences in puck carrying in the<br />

defensive zone were recorded between the winning and losing teams (p > 0.05) (Table 7).<br />
