S% stands for Shooting percentage, an ice hockey abbreviation.

Goals divided by shots on goal, for a player or team. League-average shooting percentage is about 10 percent, so very high or low figures over short periods usually regress.

Example: His 24 S% through 20 games is unlikely to last.

Usage notes

Analysts add team shooting and save percentages at five-on-five to make PDO, a luck indicator that tends to return to 100. In soccer, conversion rate plays the same role.
