What you can do
You may download, analyze, adapt and share PlayerWON-created datasets and original analytics free of charge, including for research, education, journalism, personal projects and commercial analysis. You do not need to request permission for those uses under these rules.
Private exploration and internal analysis do not need a public citation.
When to give credit
When you publicly publish or share findings, charts, models, dashboards or datasets that use PlayerWON data or original analytics, credit PlayerWON in the place appropriate to the format: a paper's data or methods section, a figure source note, dashboard credits, or a repository README.
Include the dataset or page title, its link, the date accessed and the seasons or filters used where relevant. Keep that attribution with redistributed PlayerWON-created datasets, and identify your modifications without implying PlayerWON endorses your work.
Suggested citation
Use the citation style required by your journal, institution or project. A plain-text example:
PlayerWON. NHL game data [Data set]. https://www.playerwon.ca/data/nhl/games/. Accessed [your download date]. Season(s): [seasons used].
Replace the dataset title, URL, date and season with your actual source. For other datasets or model outputs, cite the specific page rather than only the homepage.
For a short chart note: Source: PlayerWON (playerwon.ca), NHL game data; accessed [date].
Third-party sources and branding
PlayerWON organizes and processes data from sources such as publicly available NHL feeds and external odds providers. This permission applies only to material and rights controlled by PlayerWON; it does not grant rights to third-party source material, photographs, logos or trademarks, or override their applicable terms.
Acknowledge original providers where appropriate. PlayerWON is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the NHL, its teams or any sportsbook. See how our data works for source and processing information.
Make your research reproducible
Data can be corrected or refreshed. Keep a copy of the download used in your analysis, record the access date and filters, and distinguish source statistics from PlayerWON-derived metrics and your own calculations.
Data and predictions are provided without a guarantee of accuracy, completeness or availability. Review coverage and limitations before relying on them.
Use the service considerately
Prefer the provided CSV downloads to repeatedly scraping preview pages. Avoid request patterns that disrupt the site or other visitors.
