Finnish Liiga Corsi%-C Prediction Project

When searching the Finnish Liiga website for statistics, I discovered an interesting statistic called Corsi%-C. It is defined as “...when the score is within a goal in the first two periods and tied in the third period”. (liiga, 2021) Essentially, this is an enhanced version of Corsi for close game scenarios only. I was intrigued by this statistic and henceforth was motivated to begin this project to gain an understanding of the relationship between Corsi%-C and other metrics to see what attributes in players are more important in close game scenarios.
