That's not really the case. I think they are just listing all the players who were on a team's roster at least some point in a specific year.I was looking at some of the summaries and they had a list of all players who were in the game.
Take the below game for example.. the 'game rosters' show 32 players for the Flyers .. and also a few Hab players who I know definitely didn't play that game.. Van Boxmeer was traded away way before this game took place and Engblom, Mondou, and Polich didn't play any regular season games..

It's not just that 1 game, it's the entire 1976-77 season.That game is in error - the roster is suppose to just be those players that played in that particular game - I will have to fix it.
I love what you've been doing so far.
Something that would be great though is a game log like ESPN has: http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/players/gamelog?playerId=1175
I would just love to see something like that for a guy like Gretzky during his prime.
Awesome!This is a goal of the project, once all the summaries have been entered. Hopefully we will be able to link each goal, assist, penalty and goalie appearance to a specific player. You will then be able to list each "event" for a specific player.
