AHL Tries New Goalie Avgs. NEW YORK (UPD — Faced by inaccuracies produced in the present system of figuring goaltenders’ averages, the American Hockey League has decided to experiment with a more accurate method of measuring the. goalies’ abilities. At the present time, the number of goals allowed by a goaltender is merely divided by the number of games in which he has appeared in order to arrive at his average. But, under the proposed innovation, which was prompted by sportswriters who pointed out the inequities of the current system, minutes played, as opposed to games, will become the basis for determining a goalie’s efficiency. The number of minutes played by a given goaltender will first be divided by 60 (the number of minuies in a game) and the resultant figure will be used in place of the number of games played. For example, Les Brinkley of the Cleveland Barons played nine minutes of the season opener before being injured. During that time he allowed no goals. But he did allow two goals in the following game,, in which he played the entire 60 minutes. Under the present system, he would be charged with two goals for the two games, resulting in a 1:00 average. However, under the proposed innovation, based upon 69 minutes of actual playing time, the result would be more accurate 1:74. Overtime, another inequity overlooked by the present system, would also be incorporated in the experimental method.
