HabsMetrics doesn’t collect hockey data itself. Every number on the site comes from one of the providers below, is normalized and stored, then feeds our own calculations. Here is who supplies what, how we access it, and how often it refreshes.
Every upstream source, grouped by type: official NHL, licensed APIs, public feeds, AI and our own models.
Schedules, scores, standings, rosters, player and team season stats, game logs, boxscores, play-by-play, shift charts, faceoffs and the realtime reports behind hits and possession. Headshots and logos come from NHL asset servers.
Puck- and player-tracking data: skating speed, shot speed, distance skated and zone time.
Official team news stories for all 32 clubs.
Player contracts and salary-cap data: cap hit, term, clauses and future contracts.
Optional second injury feed, merged with ESPN when enabled.
Moneyline odds from Canadian-market sportsbooks, used only to compare our model with the market.
League-wide injury report and NHL news headlines.
Headlines, short summaries and links only. Full articles stay on, and belong to, the publisher.

Highlight and news videos from public channel feeds, shown in their own rail.
