> Doesn't one of the other ranking systems (HEAL???) > consider home versus away games? HEAL & RHEAL are cousins to RPI and do not adjust for the average "advantage" of home teams. I do report the "average home advantage" on the weekly HEAL report. It does not account for neutral ice games. The most recent result is .. Overall home ice advantage=0.645 goals per game cheers, wayne Wayne T.
