Success in School BEFORE Hockey!

Does Defense Really Win Championships?

I was in London this week for my spring break and, unfortunately, I came back with an unwanted souvenir, a minor cold. This week's analysis is going to be much shorter than usual as I am not feeling well enough to do an in-depth post. As I said in my first post, I wish to find a relationship between statistics and success, specifically, and most obviously, in the playoffs.

So, for today, I thought it might be interesting to look at Facebook's Cambridge Analytica Scandal, alongside the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). As I want to give my perspective, I'm going to refrain from utilizing outside resources. Therefore, this post will include my knowledge and opinions of the subject. As a result, if there are errors, especially with information, feel free to question my stance. Now, the good stuff. I firmly believe data is the greatest asset of the future.
