So, W-L-T are wins, loses and ties. Points are normally 2 for a win
and 1 for a tie (more on that later). GF and GA are goals for and
against (goals scored and allowed).

The 1st record is probably the conference record; the overall record
is conference plus other games.
Let's look at a couple of entries from the Division I standings.
To obtain the complete standings, send mail to [log in to unmask]
and in the body of the mail enter: GET 9495CONF STAND
<> 12/5/94 ECAC Overall
<> GP W-L-T Pts GF-GA || GP W-L-T GF-GA
<> ===============================================
<> 1 Brown 8 6-2-0 12 27-21 || 8 6-2-0 27-21
<> 2 RPI 5 5-0-0 10 25-12 || 10 7-3-0 42-31
So Brown is currently ranked 1st (RPI 2nd) in the ECAC Division I
Conference. Brown has played 8 league/conference games having won 6,
lost 2 and tied none. 6*2+0*1=12 league points. Leagues are
normally ranked by points, but early in the season you may see
another ordering (winning percentage ... Hi Charlie!) that takes
into account one team playing fewer or more games than another.
Now for one last example
12/5/94 Hockey East Overall
GP W-L-T SOW Pts GF-GA || GP W-L-T GF-GA
==================================================
1 Maine 10 6-0-4 1 39 42-31 || 15 11-0-4 67-44
2 Boston University 9 4-2-3 2 28 48-37 || 13 7-3-3 70-47
The Hockey East conference has instituted a "shootout" after tie
games. So we have another column SOW for "shootout win"; sometimes
you will see SOL for "shootout loss". Hockey East "points" are
calculated differently due to this shootout experiment. A win is 5
points, a tie is 2 points and a shootout win is 1 point.
Hope this helps,
