Bandits' Best/Worst One-Game Faceoff Percentage (2016 to 2025-26)

Connor Farrell had a heck of a night in the season opener of the Bandits' season in November 2025. He won 26 of 31 faceoffs. For a team that historically has been known for losing faceoffs, this was quite a revelation. 

It raised the question, how good was it in team history? It will take a while to figure it out as we go through the records. But here's a list of the best faceoff percentages in a game of the last few years; a player has to take at least 20 draws to qualify. Sometimes the Bandits have tried a number of players at the spot when things haven't gone well in a particular game, so there aren't many truly dreadful numbers presented here. The list does include playoff games. 

Yes, Farrell's performance in the past 10 years is No. 1.  

Name - Date - Record - Percentage

Connor Farrell - 11/29/25 - 26-5 - .839

Connor Farrell - 3/8/24 - 27-6 - .818 

Max Adler - 4/29/23 - 25-6 - .806 

Max Adler - 12/20/23 - 24-7 - .774 

Jay Thorimbert - 5/16/16 - 21-7 - .750 (Playoffs)

And, of course, we need the bottom numbers as well:

Name - Date - Record - Percentage

Max Adler - 2/30/22 - 6-24 - .200

Max Adler - 2/17/22 - 4-14 - .222

Ian MacKay - 1/13/24 - 7-22 - .241

Ian MacKay - 12/9/23 - 5-15 - .250

Connor Farrell - 5/176/24 - 6-18 - .250 (Playoffs)
