Sports Reference LLC Launches Hockey-Reference.com with Complete, Easy-to-Use Hockey Stats
PHILADELPHIA--(Business Wire)--
Sports Reference LLC today launched its newest historical sports
statistics site. Hockey-Reference.com provides statistical information
for every player, team, and league at hockey's highest level in Sports
Reference's easy-to-use format. It joins the top-rated and popular
Sports Reference baseball, football and basketball sites.
"We are excited to add hockey to our group of sites. We already
have a lot of fans visiting the Sports Reference sites and we believe
we've brought something new to the market that hockey fans the world
over will enjoy and respond to," said Sports Reference President Sean
Forman.
Hockey-Reference.com was created out of a partnership with Dan
Diamond & Associates, the producers of the "NHL Official Guide and
Record Book" and "Total Hockey". "No one has more stats and more
experience with hockey stats than Dan Diamond," stated Forman.
Hockey-Reference.com contains complete NHL results from the
1917-1918 season through the just completed season. Every player's
stats, from the junior leagues up to the NHL, are listed in a fully
sortable format. Users can find complete team statistics along with
the score of every game in NHL history. The site also includes
complete award results, all-time and single-season leaderboards by
league or by franchise, a complete history of the draft, and the Power
Play tool that allows users to create their own leaderboards, and much
more. All of this is packaged in Sports Reference's easy-to-use
format.
The Sports Reference sites currently serve over 20 million pages a
month and nearly one million users a month. Advertising sales for the
sites is handled by Fantasy Sports Ventures
(http://www.fantasysportsventures.com/) of New York, NY.
Sports Reference (http://www.sports-reference.com/), founded in
December 2007, operates historical sports statistics websites with a
focus on being the most complete and easiest-to-use references on the
web. Our sites include Baseball-Reference.com,
