Jubis 1,351 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) HOME ICE ADVANTAGE The Calgary Wranglers went an astonishing 29-4-3 at home during the S72 regular season. After seeing this i wanted to see how they stack up against the other great teams who have performed well on home ice. I will look at the past 15 seasons and choose one team per season. Percentage of points won on home ice and home wins will carry weight towards ranking teams. Season 72 Calgary Wranglers RANK 1 OF 15 Record: 49-16-7 Home: 29-4-3 Away: 20-12-4 (105 PTS) Victory Cup: YES Continental Cup: Unknown The Calgary Wranglers picked up 58.1% of their season points on home ice.

Season 67 Toronto Legion RANK 12 OF 15 Record: 53-12-7 Home: 27-6-3 Away: 26-6-4 (113 PTS) Victory Cup: YES Continental Cup: NO 53 wins woooo! The Legion were almost identical home and away tho. 50.44% of their points came from home games. the lowest so far. Season 66 Helsinki Titans RANK 4 OF 15 Record: 55-14-3 Home: 30-4-2 Away: 25-10-1 (113 PTS) Victory Cup: YES Continental Cup: YES Wow 55 wins and 30 home wins !

I got the S72 Wranglers at number 1 because i am biased and honest it seems. At least honest about being biased. Calgary's 58+ % of their points taken on home ice is the highest. So technically they were the best team on home ice vs being away. Anyways i hope you enjoyed a glimpse into past seasons.
