Biased penalty calls in the National Hockey League

چکیده
This paper investigates penalty calls in the National Hockey League (NHL). Our study shows that there are various situational effects that are associated with the next penalty call. These situational effects are related to the accumulated penalty calls, the goal differential, the stage of the match and the relative strengths of the two teams. We also investigate individual referee effects across the NHL.

متن کاملInfluence of viewing professional ice hockey on youth hockey injuries.
INTRODUCTION Most televised National Hockey League (NHL) games include violent body checks, illegal hits and fights. We postulated that minor league players imitated these behaviours and that not seeing these games would reduce the rate of injuries among younger hockey players. METHODS Using a quasi-experimental design, we compared 7 years of televised NHL matches (2002-2009) with the year of...
