+/- are a way to keep track of how many times a player is on the ice when his team scores and when they are scored against. When teams are at even strength, if team "A" scores, then the skaters from team A on the ice at the time of the goal gets a "+" and the players from team "B" get a minus. In the NHL, if Team "A" scores while shorthanded, then the team A players get plus, and team B skaters get a minus. Rita-Ann Monde Trinity College '91 Cornell University '9?
