Welcome to The Sports Analytics Institute

Sports. Mathematics. Economics.

In order build accurate measures of player and team performance, we model the underlying processes of sporting events using techniques from data mining, statistics and economics.  Our models are used by general management and coaches to make confident, objective decisions in areas such as:

• Player transactions
• Contract negotiation
• Arbitration
• Player scouting and entry draft decisions
• Player development
• Opponent-specific game strategy
• Game play best practices
• Determining the profit-maximizing winning percentage and talent levels

Our Vision

Our vision is to be world’s best provider of sports analytics consulting services by leveraging general research as a foundation to build custom models that meet the particular needs of each client.

We have recently completed research that identifies and places values on the factors that contribute to winning in the National Hockey League (NHL).

We recognize that traditional hockey statistics do not accurately reflect each player's contribution to winning.  Given this we have created SAI Metrics to address the short-comings of traditional hockey statistics.
