Goals Against Average Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Goals Against Average (GAA) is:

\[ GAA = \frac{GA \cdot 60}{M} \]

Where:

\( GAA \) is the Goals Against Average.
\( GA \) is the Total Number of Goals Against.
\( M \) is the Number of Minutes Played.

What is Goals Against Average?

A goals against average is a metric used in ice hockey to show the average number of goals that a goalie allows per game on average. The goals against average is calculated by multiplying the number of goals allowed by 60 then dividing by the number of minutes played.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Total Number of Goals Against (GA): 10
Number of Minutes Played (M): 300

Using the formula to calculate the Goals Against Average:

\[ GAA = \frac{10 \cdot 60}{300} = 2 \]

This means that the goals against average for this example is 2.
