     Probably the busiest day of the internship so far, a lot was learned.  I began my day by formulating statistics and results from the NHL Draft analysis I had completed.  Each current goaltender in the National Hockey League was provided information about their specific draft and pre-professional careers.  I constructed a document that provided all of the calculations and numbers when it comes to NHL goaltenders.  For example, I created the numerical information relating to what percentage of NHL goaltenders are Canadian, American, European, etc.  The document includes data relating to, on average, how goaltenders are acquired (trade, free agency, draft, waivers).  Each goaltender's draft selection allowed myself to calculate when most goaltenders are generally taken in annual entry drafts.  Furthermore, the document consists of Junior, Minor, College, and European league data, displaying how many games NHL goaltenders play in the AHL and ECHL, on average.

     Beyond those responsibilities, I also had been continuing to develop my skills in formatting spreadsheets, compiling statistics on goaltenders that are eligible for the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.  A separate sheet was made for local high school goaltenders, their statistics, and coach's contact information.  These resources can help Brian Daccord when recommending the training at Stop It Goaltending.
