WHL: By The Numbers...

Through 2/3 of the regular season, a few numbers are worth tossing around. I didn't include anything to do with overtime or the shootout, because I do not believe in loser points. Following games played on Saturday, January 16, here are the stats...

CENTRAL: 132
B.C.: 89
U.S.: 128

EAST: 105
CENTRAL: 113

There are six teams in the EAST and CENTRAL Divisions and five teams in the B.C. and U.S. Divisions. The averages per Team by Division:

Of course, there are varibles to consider, especially if a Division contains what might be considered a dominant team or, shall we say, a hapless team.

But, draw your own conclusions!
