Hypothesis
We believe that a Canadian NHL team’s home record will be better than an American team’s home record because Canadian fans are, in general, more passionate about the game, more likely to attend a game and know what is going on.We also compared traditional American hockey cities with non-traditional American hockey cities to see if the tradition made a difference to a team’s home record.

Data Collection
• We decided to take information for all 30 NHL teams for only the past 3 seasons since the cancelled lockout season of 2004 - 2005.
• We looked at each team’s home record, comparing percentage of points at home in each season.
A team receives two points for a victory and one point for an overtime loss or shootout loss.
• We separated the teams into four different categories:– Canadian and American, Traditional and Non-Traditional

Conclusion
• Canadian teams have equal or higher home points percentages as American teams since the lockout.– Home points percentages removes difference in overall
team performance for each season.• Traditional hockey cities do not have a home ice
advantage and finished worse off than non-traditional cities in terms of home points percentage in two of the last three years.– Last year traditional hockey cities finished just above non-
traditional hockey cities in terms of home points percentage.
