NHL Analytics: Multi-Season Longitudinal Panel & Measurement Dataset (2013 ~ Present | Daily Updated)

Source Repository & Ingestion Pipelines:
🏒 GitHub: justinjjlee/NHL-Analytics (Rinklytics)

"NHL Analytics (also known as Rinklytics) is a comprehensive sports analytics platform for collecting, processing, and visualizing National Hockey League (NHL) data. Automated daily GitHub Actions workflows incrementally append and update incoming game records, player rosters, betting odds, and play-by-play coordinates directly from the official NHL Edge API."

Dataset Description

This dataset provides comprehensive, multi-season panel data and advanced analytical measurements for the National Hockey League (NHL), spanning over 17,000 games, 600,000 player-game appearances, and millions of play-by-play event coordinates from 2013 to the present day (actively maintained and daily updated).

The repository is structured into two primary tiers:

data/: Raw longitudinal panel datasets (games, box scores, rosters, shifts, play-by-play events, closing betting lines).
measurement/: Derived analytical metrics, team-season benchmarks, and physical action telemetry generated by automated pipelines, all indexed with standardized yr_season columns.

Automated daily GitHub Actions workflows incrementally append and update incoming game records from the NHL Edge API.

Dataset Structure

Tier 1: Raw Longitudinal Panels (`data/`)

1. `data/games.parquet` (Game Master Panel)

Unit of Observation: One row per game (game_id).
Columns: game_id, season, game_date, time_start, home_team, away_team, home_team_id, away_team_id, home_score, away_score, period_ending, winning_team.

2. `data/team_box.parquet` (Team-Game Box Scores)

Unit of Observation: One row per team per game (game_id, team).
Columns: game_id, season, game_date, team, is_home, goals, shots, hits, shots_blocked, goals_pp, pim, takeaways, giveaways, faceoff_win_pct, win.

3. `data/player_box.parquet` (Individual Player Performance)

Unit of Observation: One row per player per game (game_id, player_id).
Columns: game_id, season, game_date, player_id, player_name, team, position, sweater_number, toi, goals, assists, points, plus_minus, pim, hits, sog, blocked_shots, faceoff_pct, saves, shots_against, save_pct.

4. `data/odds.parquet` (Betting Closing Lines)

Unit of Observation: Closing market odds per game and country market (game_id, country, odds_description).
Columns: game_id, country ("US" or "CAN"), game_date, home_team, away_team, odds_description, home_odds, away_odds, betting_partner, start_time_utc, last_updated_utc.

5. `data/playbyplay.parquet` (Granular Event Microdata Panel)

Unit of Observation: Granular play-by-play events (game_id, event_id).
Format: Single Parquet file (~58 MB compressed for ~5.4 million events across 14 seasons).
Columns: game_id, season, game_type, game_date, event_id, time_in_period, time_remaining, period, period_type, event_type, reason, owner_team, x_coord, y_coord, zone_code, home_defending_side, shot_type, away_sog, home_sog, shooting_player_id, blocking_player_id, goalie_in_net_id, scoring_player_id, assist1_player_id, assist2_player_id, hitting_player_id, hittee_player_id, duration, committed_by_player_id, drawn_by_player_id.

6. `data/playbyplay_player.parquet` (Game Roster & Participating Players)

Unit of Observation: One row per skater/goaltender present on the official game sheet (game_id, player_id).
Columns: game_id, season, player_id, team, sweater_number, position, first_name, last_name, headshot.

7. `data/shifts.parquet` (Shift-Level Tracking)

Unit of Observation: Individual on-ice player shift (shift_id).
Columns: shift_id, game_id, player_id, season, team, player_name, period, shift_number, start_time, end_time, duration, type_code, detail_code, event_number, event_description, event_details.

Tier 2: Measured & Computed Statistics (`measurement/`)

All measurement datasets contain the standardized season identifier yr_season (e.g. 2013 to 2026).

A. Box & Team Measurements (`measurement/box/`)

measurement/box/team_season.parquet: Multi-season team KPI aggregates, Fenwick/Corsi differential ratings, Pythagorean win expectation, RPI, and win streaks.
measurement/box/game_stats.parquet: Game-level rolling performance, momentum indicators, and advanced game metrics.

B. Player Season Aggregates (`measurement/player/`)

measurement/player/player_season.parquet: Skater and goaltender season-level totals, points per game, TOI rates, and save percentages.

C. Physical Actions & Hit Analytics (`measurement/action/hits/`)

measurement/action/hits/hit_impact.parquet: Downstream sequence outcomes and 30-second net shot/goal impact sequences.
measurement/action/hits/team_season_hit_kpi.parquet: Team-level physical KPIs and zone breakdown rates.
measurement/action/hits/team_season_spatial_hits.parquet: Team spatial hit density grid coordinates.
measurement/action/hits/hit_goal_window_30s.parquet: 30-second scoring telemetry and outcome tracking post-contact.
measurement/action/hits/hit_next_events.parquet: Reaction latency and subsequent event categories.
measurement/action/hits/hit_sequence_transitions.parquet: Markov chain state transitions following hits.
measurement/action/hits/hit_zone_summary_kpi.parquet: Zone-level recovery rates, takeaways, and shot differentials.
measurement/action/hits/hit_zone_summary.parquet: Zone-level recovery speed and opponent possession.
measurement/action/hits/rink_grid_hit_sequences.parquet: Normalized rink coordinate sequences.
measurement/action/hits/tabulated_hit_sequences.parquet: Multi-step post-hit event progressions (+1 to +4).

Quickstart & Query Examples

A. Zero-Install Streaming SQL with DuckDB

-- Query directly from Hugging Face over HTTP without local downloads
SELECT 
    season, 
    home_team, 
    COUNT(*) AS total_home_games,
    ROUND(AVG(home_score), 2) AS avg_goals_scored
FROM 'hf://datasets/jjerlee/nhl-analytics/data/games.parquet'
WHERE season >= 20212022
GROUP BY season, home_team
ORDER BY season DESC, avg_goals_scored DESC;

B. Python (`polars` or `pandas`)

import polars as pl
