Since the CCHL transitioned several years ago to the Simon T simulator, we've seen a lot of interesting historical stats kept that we can look at and review. With that, we have some records that are unofficially the stats for which we have CCHL records since previous records weren't kept.
In this Simon T era of the CCHL, we're seeing some records changing this season!
The first record we've already seen re-written is for goals in a season as Georgetown's Dylan Larkin has 62 goals which erases the previous record of 61 held by Connor McDavid.
The good news for McDavid is that his 135 point record season is likely safe, as Crosby needs 7 points in the final two games to get there. Is it impossible? Absolutely not - but it is very unlikely despite Crosby's season likely to stand as the second-best point total in the Simon era of the CCHL.
Nobody will get close to the shots taken record as this year's leader will finish almost 90 shots behind all-time shot leader in a season Mika Zabinejad who took a wild 470 shots four seasons ago. That, along with his faceoff numbers that season, must have led to some very fatigued arms after that year as that is a ton of shots!
The plus/minus record appears to be safe as well, as Adrian Kempe would need to be plus four in Wisborg's final game of the season - again not impossible but probably quite unlikely.
Another record that has been broken is the most assists in a single season as Patrice Bergeron's 81 assists four years ago have been bested by Fort Erie's Adam Fox this year. There's something to be said for operating the point on the league's leading powerplay in Fort Erie, and it certainly shows in the assist totals!
I'm sure there are more records broken or very close to it but these ones stood out when looking at the stats from this year compared to our league's historical stats.
Hopefully you enjoyed this look at some of our record breaking season!
