Saw this about using CV for speed climbing: medium.com/@taralind37/... Couldn't find the author on social media. If they're on here, let me know so I can give them a shout out.

I asked @habsbrain.com what good hockey papers he's read lately and he listed a couple from linhac so let's go ahead and plug all of them: www.ida.liu.se/research/spo...

Following in the footsteps of the MLSPA, the PWHLPA has voted to disclose player salaries for the first time. All players are listed here, with numbers quite low for full-time professional athletes. www.pwhlpa.com/salary-guide

Can't imagine people focusing on anything else right now, so how to pronounce (Konsta) Helenius: Every previous Helenius = heh lehn ee uhs Every pronunciation guide = heh lehn ee uhs Him saying it for the Amerks guide = heh lehn ee uhs Sportsnet = it's obviously hella noose, what else could it be?

My NHL site is now live! nhl.hockey-statistics.com There are many features that you can't find anywhere and I'm quite proud of this project. However, I could really use your help spread the word. Please share the link here on Bluesky, but also on other platforms. It means a lot!

Looking through my backlog and came across this: huggingface.co/SimulaMet-HOST Models and data for computer vision for hockey. Haven't really looked through it, but public data is cool to see.

✨new scraper✨ I will write some docs, improve the scraper, etc. eventually ✨it notably includes an xG model i built (model gives lower xG values than most other models [can mean I am dumb lol], so expect lots of goals scored above expected) github.com/maxtixador/s...

There was a WHL game where Codey Burki scored in the first shift of the 2nd period that got taken back when the refs remembered they'd given him a penalty at the end of the 1st

Never seen this before: Nikko Mikkola had a game misconduct. I'm not sure if no one told him or what...but after it was called, he continued to play and assisted on Florida's 8-0 goal. Minutes later, that one was removed from the scoreboard and it is back to 7-0.

NHL Draft model v2. Wrote a rough draft about what I think was going wrong the first go. Not there yet. drydan.github.io/posts-hockey...

Saw a goal with a great water bottle pop tonight. I miss those.

We're talking football! Well kinda. @centralwinger.com asked if anyone was interested in explaining The Zoo model, so I figured I'd give it a go. thebucketless.wordpress.com/2025/04/01/e...

It’s hard to put into words what building and scaling the DynastyProcess shiny app has meant to me, but I took a crack at it in this talk and shared some of the lessons it taught me along the way! #rstats

Hey y'all its a shot-plotter.netlify.app update! This one features the addition of: - football/soccer net (IFAB/NCAA) - indoor lacrosse (NLL, customizable) and: - ice hockey (IIHF) is now customizable All additions were suggestions from people, so let me know if you have thoughts of things to add!

Just hit Ctrl+C on one computer and Ctrl+V on another. It, uh, didn't work.

Tried out the NHL's ice image with the hockey-rink package. Might have to include that as an option.

Time for my new annual hobby: finding plays in the BDB data that track the wrong ball

The 8581 goals last year amounts to a little over 13M rows. For reference, BDB this year is almost 60M. Fewest frames: 89 Most frames: 123 3 goals show the puck recorded as having moved less than 10 ft total. The one in the QT is at 2:31 of the 2nd from 2023020040.

Seems fitting that I'm doing this within a day of BDB data being released

Good morning, it looks like the NHL has posted player and puck tracking data and it’s publicly accessible. Going to write up some notes on how to use it today! Here’s Caufield’s goal as a sample, there’s some transformation we can do to more easily work with it. wsr.nhle.com/sprites/2024...
