These days, there are about a dozen different ways that you can represent a tie, overtime or shootout game. Each league and tournament handles these events differently. With hundreds of leagues, thousands of teams and hundreds of thousands of games, MYHockey cannot identify the rules governing each tie, overtime or shootout game. At this point in time, all games that have an overtime or shootout period where a winner is identified, will result in a game where both a winner and loser are identified. Overtime and shootout games should not be recorded as ties, but as one goal victories for the winning team. That also means the games are identified as one goal losses for the losing team. MYHockey does not recognize the OT loss or SO loss as something different than a regulation loss.

We realize that MYHockey standings might thus be denoted differently than your league website and apologize for this confusion. We will be looking at this situation in the coming months and it is possible that you might see some enhancements at certain age levels by the 2010-11 season.
