About LivingHockey

What We Do

LivingHockey is a free NHL advanced analytics platform built for hockey fans, analysts, and anyone who wants to go deeper than the box score. We track every shot, scoring chance, and shift to provide detailed statistics for every player, goalie, and team in the NHL.

Analytics We Offer

• Corsi & Fenwick — shot attempt differentials at even strength and all situations
• Expected Goals (xG) — a model-based estimate of how many goals a team or player should score based on shot quality
• Scoring Chances & High-Danger Chances — categorized shot attempts based on location and context
• Time on Ice (TOI) — ice time breakdowns by strength state (5v5, power play, shorthanded)
• Gameflow Charts — real-time expected goals accumulation visualized per game
• Shot Heatmaps & Event Maps — geographic visualization of shots, goals, and other events on the ice
• Game Predictions — pre-game win probabilities and projected outcomes
• Injury Tracking — up-to-date injury reports with stat impact for every affected player

Our Data

All statistics are derived from the NHL's publicly available API, including play-by-play data, shift reports, and game schedules. We process this raw data into the advanced metrics you see on the site. Injury data is sourced from ESPN's public injury reports.

What Makes Us Different

LivingHockey is completely free with no paywall. We cover every NHL season from 2021-22 onward with per-game, per-player, and per-team breakdowns across multiple strength states. Our goal is to make advanced hockey analytics accessible to everyone — from casual fans to serious analysts.

Technology

LivingHockey is built with Next.js and hosted on Vercel. Our data pipeline ingests and processes every NHL game, computing advanced stats in real time. The site is designed to be fast, mobile-friendly, and easy to navigate.
