New York Sirens gay hockey crimes for the 2025-2026 season. 36.3% of the penalty minutes is pretty impressive considering only 4 out of the 25 players are queer.

Note from your mods: Please don’t be discouraged if your favorite Pokémon, or the Pokémon you’ve been assigned to write about, is low on the above list! These stats show which Pokémon writers specifically wanted to write a story about (not necessarily reflecting those they’d like to read/hear a fic of) and many factors went into their choices. It doesn’t include those occasions where writers signed up offering “any Pokémon” (23% of them!) It also doesn't include Unown as they will get their own mini round in early 2026 with each different form getting their own story and podfic. Every Pokemon gets their chance to shine in this project ✨

So over a year ago, I did a poll about a mock game of oldest v youngest players. Since we have such a good rookie class, I wanted to do it again, but with more statistics!

Player selection method: 

Must have played at least 10 games this season

Position (C, LW, RW) was taken into consideration for F, not D

If tied with another player in age, points was the tie breaker for making team and line designation. Otherwise, eldest/youngest player was chosen, no exceptions

Team Old

Team Young

This season stats:

Team Old

The goalies have an average .913 save %  and 2.57 GAA  

The forwards have combined for 174 points

The defense have combined for 34 points and an average of TOI of 20:07

Team Young

The goalies have an average .895 save %  and 3.07 GAA  

The forwards have combined for 184 points

The defense have combined for 89 points and an average of TOI of 18:43

Career stats:

Team Old

Forwards have a combined 13,566 career games and 10,546 career points, averaging 1131 games per player and .78 point/game

Defense have a combined 7026 career games and 3261 career points, averaging 1171 games per player and .46 point/game

Goalies have a combined 1820 career games and average career save% of .912

Team Young

Forwards have a combined 848 career games and 634 career points, averaging 77 games per player and .75 point/game

Defense have a combined 325 career games and 162 career points, averaging 46 games per player and .50 point/game

Goalies have a combined 41 career games and average career save% of .892

Thoughts and poll!

This seems to speak really well of the talent of these older men in the league, and the skill of the coming up class (the career averages are so close!). Super comparable, being in the dawn and twilight of your careers, too.

And finally, if you're still here, thanks and sorry for the difficult spacing in this post. Here's your poll!

Who ya got to win a head to head, this season?

Team Young

They stayed together and improved together 🥳🥳🥳

These kinds of stats make me feel hopeful.

I'm fully onboard with the drama and the epic war that'll commence when Carlos gets together again with Max, this time wearing a darker blue to Ferrari's Azzurro Dino and basically draws his blade against his divorced husband.

I mean, let's all be honest here, where else would Carlos go? Audi's offer for him has already expired. There's no other place, and nope, I'm firmly of the opinion that Carlos won't go to Mercedes. They have a shit ton of things to fix and clean up.

In honour of first (1) Lando win here are some 'fun' stats!!

🍼 Lando is now the 16th youngest GP winner at 24 years 176 days (beating David Coulthard by just 4 days and George Russell by 3 months!)

📅 Lando is 9th on the 'Most GPs before first win' . Strangely, Carlos Sainz (former teammate) is second on that list, only beat by Sergio Perez in first.

💯 Lando won on his 110th GP (It's a nice number, bite me, 111 would have been better)

🧮 Lando has a 16.7% win rate this season, equalling Carlos in that regard

👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨 Lando is the second of the 2019 rookies to get a win (Poor Alex)

🏫 Lando is the 5th youngest polesitter behind Verstappen at 21 years 316 days (Old record)
