How It Works

The application uses a Python backend to collect hockey information from external league sources. The backend processes and caches the data before making it available through RESTful API endpoints.

The frontend communicates with these endpoints using JavaScript and dynamically displays the latest available hockey information.

Data Management

The backend is responsible for retrieving information from external hockey league sources and transforming it into data that can be consumed by the frontend.

Caching is used to avoid repeatedly requesting the same external information, helping improve application performance and reduce unnecessary requests.

Purpose

The project was created to provide a more convenient way for a hockey team to access important league information in one place.

Instead of manually checking different league pages for schedules, scores, standings, and player statistics, the platform collects and presents the information through a single interface.

Deployment

The application is deployed using Render.
