Abstract: Through the use of the well-known Morrison/Wheat/Erkut ice hockey model, we demonstrate that even optimal solutions may be open to question. Based on the assumptions which are made to estimate data values, optimal solutions may vary among decision makers. We also note that under any reasonable set of assumptions, hockey coaches wait too long before pulling their goalies.
