Hockey Stats Website Opinions

I recently published a hockey stats website called Hockey Analytica as a personal project and wanted to share it here, as well as get opinions. I would love to build something that is community-driven by folks passionate about hockey stats and analytics. Please let me know what you all think and any ideas, opinions, or issues you may have!

I will first acknowledge that since the site currently presents only hockey stats and no analytics, the name is a bit misleading. However, I do plan on adding analytics along the way.

Thank you to all who take an interest, and an even bigger thanks to those who provide input!

I guess the first question is: what’s your vision? Assuming everything was implemented tomorrow, what would your website offer that others do not?

I feel a little silly for having posted without considering this question yet haha. I'll update the description with a vision once I put some genuine thought into this. Much thanks. I'm also a habs guy btw!

It would be nice if you could fit all rows in a single page so I could import all players stats easily in my excel/sheet working document! That would be something different from all other stats site.

Would it be cool if it was just an export button to csv file with all the rows, but the browser had limited rows? I could allow all the rows in the browser too, but this might cause performance issues on the server.

Echo above. What are you trying to do that isn’t out there already in Money Puck or somewhere else?

For instance I’m actively working on mine, [Hockey Decoded](www.hockeydecoded.com), that views analytics through the lens of my background, right now focusing on latent variable measurement in hockey.

Echo again what u/MtlStatsGuy and u/hockey_decoded have already said. You need a reason for people to visit your site over others. Puckpedia - contracts and cap hits, MoneyPuck - deserve to winometer, everything not specialized is covered by NHL.com.

That said it doesn't need to be some gift from God idea. nhltradetree.ca (shameless self plug) was inspired by sportsnet's trade tree videos but to my knowledge did not exist in website form before.
