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 several 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 was No. 1, but Jay Thorimbert had an even better day in March, 2015 - with another one in the playoffs the year before.
Name - Date - Record - Percentage
Jay Thorimbert - 3/14/15 - 22-3 - .880
Jay Thorimbert - 5/3/14 - 27-5 - .844 (Playoffs)
Connor Farrell - 11/29/25 - 26-5 - .839
Jay Thorimbert - 3/21/15 - 20-4 - .833
Connor Farrell - 3/8/24 - 27-6 - .818
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)
