Reworked my website

[morehockeystats]

My website news

I reworked my site splitting into three sub-sites.
MoreHockeyStats
HockeyEloRatings
NHLErrata

What's new:

1. There's an API-like link you can use to get the data as JSON or CSV
2. There are player cards, team cards, coach cards and even arena cards for various subjects.

Here's a player card example (that I used for OTTHAC18 conference):

What's coming up:

1. New stats
2. Direct API to the mongo database (probably paid)
3. Breakdown of NHL website errors

Also I provide daily predictions for the games as well as weekly Fantasy Hockey advice on my twitter feed.
Have a great 2018/19 hockey season!

So inspired by the suggestions of goals by 3 d-men and goal streaks w/o PP goal posted here, I created a new section "Assortment" on my website and added tables for these queries.

Thanks for these ideas.

Thanks, my friend,

As the little page from the ancient (1948) Soviet adaptation of "Cinderella" used to say, "I am not a magician yet, I am only in training."

(I'm still looking, but where is the link in the websites to download a CSV of the data?) - my original post

I found the links below the data.

I've been lightly searching, but I really want to find good NHL data to mess around with. I looked into the nhlscrapr package in R, and the sister package in Python, but it seemed a little vague.

Any other places where data could be easily obtainable?

Later edit: I've found that you can download season stats per player, a pretty comprehensive list, off hockey-reference.com

nhlscrapr, python and my own Perl package scrape the basic data from the NHL website. Everything else, including hockey-reference, derives from there, except for a possible few sites that built their pre-1987 datasets based on newspapers and such (e.g. flyershistory, I think).
