2008-09 Daily Updates
Posted by Justin Kubatko on October 10, 2008
As of this morning, Hockey-Reference.com should be updating on a daily basis. Please let us know (via our feedback form) if you notice any missing stats, players who should have stats but do not, etc. Here are some known issues:
- XML Team Solutions, our in-season provider, does not supply time on ice for skaters.
- XML Team does not supply the plus/minus component stats (total goals for, etc.).
- Some biographical information is missing for rookies.
Although we won't have the above information during the regular season, we will have it shortly after the end of the regular season.
The addition of game-level data for the 2008-09 season has brought about some new features, including:
- box scores/game summaries for each game
- a daily leaders script that allows you to view the statistics for all players on a given day
- the Player Season Finder results are updated on a daily basis
Finally, here are some of the things we are still working on:
- player game logs
- team game logs
- player game finder
We hope you enjoy these enhancements to Hockey-Reference.com. As mentioned earlier, please let us know if you find any problems related to the 2008-09 stats.
