52 SHL team-seasons: roster continuity correlates 0.32 with points share; mean age does not. Coaching churn barely matters. Prior for 2026/27: Frölunda, Växjö, Skellefteå, Rögle.
Part 3 of our SHL timeout study: which clubs used the 30-second break over five seasons. HV71 in half their games, Växjö in 23%. Timrå and Örebro mostly press it trailing.
1,854 SHL games: league average 5.52 penalties per game. Officials with 150+ assignments range from Tobias Björk (5.82) to Johan Wedin (4.94) — assignment rates, not who-called-it.
Part 2 of our SHL timeout study: which coaches used the 30-second break most over five seasons, the 2021/22 dip, and why the empty-net gamble still looks like a bad lottery ticket.
1,303 coach's timeouts in 1,854 SHL games (2020/21–2024/25): 63% while trailing, 81% in period 3, 83% followed by a goalie pull. The break rarely flips the score.
JITS% across SHL grundserie 2023/24–2025/26: Skellefteå averages 14.7% U20 skater TOI; Färjestad 2.5%. Same league, very different junior development bets.
