It's quite simple really. If a player is on the ice when his team scores a goal, he gets a plus. If he is on the ice when the opposition scores, he gets a minus. For example, if during a game , the player is on the ice when his team scores 3 goals , but is on the ice when the other team scores two, he is a plus one (+1). However, power play goals are not factored into the mix, although shorthanded goals are.
If you are on the ice for a goal for it is rated as a +, and if you are on the ice for a goal against it is a -. Thus the higher the + the better. These stats are not kept for goalies and is very indicitive of a defenceman's performance.
A player receives a �plus� if he is on the ice when his team scores an even-strength or shorthanded goal. He receives a �minus� if he is on the ice for an even-strength or shorthanded goal scored by opposing team.
Generally, good defensive hockey players have good +/- ratings (not a lot of goals against are scored on their watch). It depends on what team you're on. On a bad defensive team, or one with a bad goalie, a low minus rating (like -4) might not be that bad. I.e. you're one of the better defensive players on that team. Plus/Minus Rating in HockeyRule 1: If you are playing even strength (5 on 5, 4 on 4, 3 on 3) and your team scores, you get a plus and the team scored upon gets a minus.
Rule 2: If you are playing on the powerplay (more men than the opposing team) and your team gets scored on, (the lesser team scores) your team gets the plus and the powerplay team gets a minus. But if the powerplay team scores, neither team gets a + or a -.
Rule 3: A penalty shot/shoot-out doesn't count for either team for a + or -
The "plus minus" scoring system is a means of rating the value of each individual player. The plus represents the number of goals your team scores while you are on the ice and minus is the number of goals you get scored against you while you are on the ice.
Plus/Minus is a basic way to rate each individual player. In theory, the higher a player's plus/minus score, the better the player. For each player (except the goalie) who is on the ice when a goal is scored by the opposing team is rated a -1. Conversely, every player on the ice when their own team scores a goal (except the goalie) is rated a +1. A player who is rated a + 13 for example, has been on the ice during 13 more goals scored for his team than against it. Shorthanded and powerplay goals are not counted in plus/minus ratings.
A player with a plus 5 is a better player than one with a minus 5.
For example: a player is on ice and a team member scores a goal all the players on the ice for that goal will receive a plus, and the players on ice will receive a minus if a goal is against them. Lets say Mike Modano is on ice during a play and Brenden Morrow scores a goal. Modano as well as the other 4 players will receive a plus point, and if Mike Modano is on ice during play and a player from the opposite team scores a goal against Turco, then they all will receive a minus.
E is used in some box scores to denote "Even," or a plus/minus of zero.
The +/- is a symbol for a statistic.
It notes what players were on the ice when a goal is scored for that team or against it.
A player gets one (1) point in the plus (+) column when he/she is on the ice when a goal is scored for their team and one (1) point in the minus (-) column when he/she is on the ice when a goal is scored against their team.
Since a team on the power play has an automatic advantage, power-play goals do not factor into plus/minus calculation. If a team scores a short handed goal, they get a +1 and the powerplay team gets a -1.
Every time that a player is on the ice when a goal is scored by their team, a "plus one" is given. Every time that the opposing team scores when a player is on the ice a "minus one" is given. It is a more general way of rating players than points alone.
When a player is on the ice for a goal or gets a point he gets a plus, which add up. But when the player is on the ice for a goal against he gets a minus. For example.. if the player is on the ice for a goal and 2 goals against his plus minus would be -1.
Hope this helps
It is difference in score while a certain player is playing. For example, if your team scored 5 more points than the other team while you were playing, your +/- would be 5.
