Hamster Wheel

Some teams glide. Some teams sprint in circles all night and never get anywhere. This is who skates the most miles for every hour of hockey.

Most miles per 60

Team skating distance for every 60 minutes on the ice, all skaters added up. Per 60 levels the field, so a team with extra games or overtimes doesn't get a head start.

      How the wheel is measured

      Skating distance

      NHL Edge tracks every skater on every shift. A team's distance is all of its skaters' miles added together, so it's a measure of how hard the whole roster works, not one guy.

      Per 60

      Miles for every 60 minutes played. NHL Edge only publishes a top 10 for this, at all strengths and at even strength, so that's what the leaderboard shows.

      Per game

      For all 32 teams we take each team's season total from NHL Edge and divide by games played. Overtime games add a few extra miles, so read close calls loosely.
