Happy to announce that I’ll be speaking at a public lecture on hockey analytics later this month. It will take place at the University of Alberta, hosted by the Communications & Technology Graduate Program.

I’ll be sharing some of the research I did as a graduate student at the U of A. My main focus was online hockey fans and their usage of blogs to develop information and knowledge. Michael Parkatti, one of the top hockey analytics guys around, will be providing an overview of hockey analytics and the work he has done on his blog.

More details about the event can be found at the U of A website.
