Hockey statistics

[edit]

Last week I asked about baseball statistics, and using Retrosheet and Baseball-Reference I was able to find what I was looking for. Is there anything like that for the National Hockey League? Online there is Hockey Database, which is similar to Baseball Reference but not anywhere near as detailed. Specifically I am wondering how I would be able to find out who scored the most goals at certain arenas; for example, for Maple Leaf Gardens, apparently it is Darryl Sittler with 235, but I would like to be able to confirm that and find out the same for other arenas. Is there a website/book that would give this info? Adam Bishop (talk) 19:03, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is a companion site to Baseball reference called Hockey reference [1]. It seems to have some of the same tools, including a play index. You can poke around and see if the information you're looking for can be found. --Xuxl (talk) 12:42, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I totally overlooked that. It's not quite as thorough as Baseball Reference, but it is helpful, thanks. Adam Bishop (talk) 13:58, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You might also try the Internet Hockey Database. — Michael J 09:51, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
