What is Goals Against Average?

The Goals Against Average (GAA) is a statistic used to evaluate goalies in sports like hockey and soccer. It is calculated by dividing the total number of goals allowed by the total minutes played, then multiplying by the regulation game length. A lower GAA indicates better performance.

Example Calculation

Using the formula to calculate the Goals Against Average:

\[ \text{GAA} = \left( \frac{15}{600} \right) \times 60 = 1.5 \]

This means that the Goals Against Average for this example is 1.5.
