Project
For this project I compared the stats of Wayne Gretzky( the best hockey player who ever played) to NHL players today. I started this project by going to nhl.com and writing down the stats of Wayne Gretzky as well as: Duncan Keith, Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews,Mikko Rantanen, and Sidney Crosby. For each player I calculated their average points per season and points per game. I know I could have found the averages on google but they may have been made with different stats then mine which would have made the averages wrong according to the data I was using. Then I put the data I got into graphs. I used a website called kids zone to make my graphs. I put the graphs into a google docs which you can look at just click here.
I can present this in class if anyone is interested in hearing more. Just comment if you want to hear more.

Cool! Would like to hear more in a presentation in class!
From what I have seen I would give this project a 7

9/10
Great!
Curious,I did some data research on this topic and adjusted the points scored by the average goals scored by NHL teams – in Gretzky’s prime NHL teams averaged nearly 4 goals per game, now it is less than three…
Here’s my results as a EXCEL spreadsheet attached – I’ll try to put it onto a Google Sheets

This is pretty cool. I like how it’s so easy to see how many more goals Gretzky scored than the other players.
I wouldn’t mind hearing more in class.
7/10.

WOW Gretzky seemed to fly over the averages of the other players! I would definitely like to hear more in class. What did you learn form this project?

It seems like you did a lot of research on this and took time to find these averages. I give it a 9/10, good work!

This sounds super cool, I am defiantly glad you could base the project off something that interests you.

Good job

That’s really cool! Even at the lowest point in his career (by number of goals), he was still scoring as much as the other players.
I rate this project 8/10.
Also, I would love for you to present this.
