Records Keeping • Just a reminder that the only stats that the home team is required to keep for both teams are • goals [time & player] • penalties [player, time, type and length] • time-outs [time and quarter] • All other stats are for your team’s records • Some stats can be subjective; did the scorer dodge or take more than 1 step in order to credit the assist? It’s a judgment call
