Abbrev Name PHS Tracked Description
GGoalXA shot on goal that crosses the goal line.
G/GGoals Per GameThis is the average number of goals scored per game during the season. You take the total goals scored and divide it by the number of games played. Doing this will give you the goals per game.
AAssistXAn assist is an intentional pass giving a teammate a positional advantage which contributes directly to a goal. Any one direct pass by a player to a teammate who then scores a goal without having to dodge or evade an opponent, other than the goal keeper who is in the crease, is recorded as an assist. There can be only one assist on any goal scored. (A pass to the shooter, a pass that sets up a goal, a play that helps a teammate in gaining a goal).
A/GAssists Per GameThis is the average number of assists per game during the season. You take the total number of assists during the season to date and divide it by the number of games played. Doing this will give you the assists per game.
PtsPointsXA unit of scoring or counting. The total running tally of goals and assists throughout the season.
P/GPoints Per GameThis is the average number of points scored per game during the season. You take the total points scored and divide it by the number of games played. Doing this will give you the points per game.
GBGround BallXAny ball not in the possession of one team that comes into the possession of the other team in live-ball play can be a ground ball. This may occur on an intercepted pass (the ball does not have to hit the ground) or from a ball checked loose onto the ground. Further, the ball must be obtained under pressure (another opposing player must be within 5 yards of the loose ball). When such a ground ball is obtained, the player gaining the ground ball must be able to perform immediately the normal functions of possession (shoot, pass, and cradle). Should any of these conditions not be met, a ground ball may not be awarded. A player cannot drop the ball of his own volition, pick it up again, and be credited with a ground ball. Ground balls should be awarded as part of the face off play; however, a ground ball is not awarded when an official signals possession on a face off play, since the official's definition of possession does not rise to the standard of that of a ground ball.
GB/GGround Balls Per GameThis is the average number of ground balls per game during the season. You take the total ground balls and divide it by the number of games played. Doing this will give you the ground balls per game.
FWFace Offs WonXWhen your team gains possession from the face off, then the player that took part in the face off gets credited for a "Win."
FAFace Off AttemptsXThe amount of times a player uses the technique of facing off to put the ball in play at the start of each quarter, or after a goal is scored. The players squat down and the ball is placed between their crosses. One attempt equals one face off.
FO%Face Off PercentageTake the number of face offs won and divide that by the total number of face off attempts. Doing this will give you a percentage that in turn stands for the face off percentage.
TSTotal ShotsXTotal number of shots, a ball thrown or kicked at the goal with the intent of scoring and released above the goal line extended, as judged by an official. A shot or deflected shot remains a shot until the ball comes to rest on the field of play, a player gains possession of the ball, the ball goes out of bounds or a player causes the ball to go out of bounds. PHS records this stat as of May 2, 2024; prior 2024 stats not available.
SOGShots on GoalXIs the total number of shots, which by definition is where the ball makes contact with the goal keeper while he is in his crease area, the goalposts or crossbar or crosses the goal line. The shot must originate from the front or side of the goal. When a shot hits a part of the goal post, does not go in and the ball continues in play, a shot on goal is awarded and a save is credited.
SHT%Shooting PercentageThe number of goals(G) divided by total shots(TS).

Personal fouls always result in the player serving time in the penalty box. Technical fouls are less severe and result in 30 seconds being served if the opposing team was in possession of the ball.

SOShut OutA goal keeper receives credit for a shut out only by playing the entire contest and not allowing any goals. If both opposing goal keepers play the entire game to a final score of 0-0, both goal keepers should be credited with a shut out.
WWinA victory that is credited to the goal keeper. If the final score is 3-1 then the team with 3 is the winning team and the victory goes in the win column of the goal keeper.
LLossA defeat that is credited to the goal keeper. If the final score is 3-1 then the team with 1 is the losing team and the defeat goes in the loss column of the goal keeper.
TTieThis just so happens to be the occurrence of equality in opponents score during a contest. Example: Final score is 2-2, meaning the game ended as a tie and the goal keeper would get credited for such.
