fastRhockey
is an R package for accessing hockey data from the NHL
(National Hockey League) and PWHL (Professional Women’s
Hockey League) via public web APIs. It provides structured data frames
of play-by-play, schedule, standings, roster, draft, player stats, and
team data. The package also includes integrated expected goals
(xG) models trained via XGBoost.
Part of the SportsDataverse family of R/Python packages for sports analytics.

covering shot location, shot speed, skating speed, skating distance,
zone time, comparisons, landing pages, and top-10 leaderboards. Each
wrapper accepts an optional season argument and falls back
to the current season via the /now formrecords.nhl.com/site/api/ for franchise
totals, player/skater/goalie career and real-time stats, draft lottery,
hall of fame, trophies, awards, attendance, venues, officials, and
