So, my friend who works for the Reign and I are working on a project called AnAHLytics, which is a delve into AHL analytics at a further level, and we'll need a fair share of folks. Basically, we're trying to be the Football Outsiders of the AHL, by contributor numbers needed. You'd need time to watch the assigned games, and an ability to fill out a stats sheet like the one below, though a template would more than likely be provided. You'd likely also need to cover your share (~$10-$20) for a shared AHL package to watch the games as necessary while minimizing costs. Web hosting is not an issue.

Once each sheet is entered, I have a master zone-neutral, strength weighted formula that can be used to tell the value of players and teams alike, comparable to DVOA, for lack of non-FO comparable stat, which is equally transferable to the NHL level, should we go that route in any capacity. The question to be answered will be trying to find underrated and/or underutilized players in the (each) league, in an attempt to uncover a new market inefficiency. Even if this is not found, some statistics the AHL currently lacks on its pages will be uncovered, such as CF%.

Please send a PM if interested; sadly this does not pay. Thanks in advance for your interest!
