Goalie Save Quality
Goalie view splitting located shots and goals against by danger level.
This tells you whether goalie results are being driven by chance quality, not just volume.

Minor hockey goalies face much cleaner high-danger looks than pros due to erratic defensive coverage and wide-open cross-crease passes. Because of this, you cannot judge their high-danger performance using NHL benchmarks.
Use this quick reference guide to accurately evaluate your goalie's resilience under heavy fire:
The HD SV% Benchmark Guide
.800 to .830 [Elite / Top-Tier]: Stolen-game material. The goalie is consistently bailing out the team on odd-man rushes, back-door plays, and clean slot shots.
.740 to .790 [Good / Strong]: Highly reliable. The goalie gives the team a chance to win every night by stopping roughly 3 out of every 4 high-danger breakdowns.
.680 to .730 [Average]: Standard performance for a competitive youth goalie. High-danger spots go in at a higher rate in minor hockey, making this a baseline expectation.
.650 to .670 [Watch Area]: Just below the competitive average band. This is not automatic panic territory, but it deserves attention as the sample grows.
Under .650 [Below Average]: The goalie may be struggling with depth, lateral recovery, or tracking cross-crease movements, allowing prime scoring chances to become automatic goals.
Isolate the Quality to See the Real Story
An overall game save percentage of .885 can look weak on a standard box score. However, if your data shows the goalie faced 12 high-danger shots and stopped 10 of them (.833 HD SV%), it proves the defensive tracking failed completely, but the goalie played an absolute masterclass to keep the game close.
