Frozen Tools Forensics

Last week we explored Frozen Tools’ 4th Year Report to get an idea what players were breaking out in 2019-20. We then used the Next Year report to take a look at players in their third year who could be primed for a big season in 20-21. This week we are going to start with [...]

Anyone who has followed Dobber Hockey for any length of time likely know about the fourth-year breakout. The fourth year is a mythical time when a high proportion of NHL players seem to reach new scoring heights.
