Get to Know Us
Frozen Lakes & Hockey
As far back as we can remember, hockey has been at the center of our lives. We watched games with our family, played on the street until it was dark and grew lifelong friendships through playing and competing together at all sorts of levels. In short, hockey has been, and still is, a way of life for us.
Our best times were lost in playing on frozen ponds and lakes, and our toughest times were sharing bitter defeat against arch rivals. But throughout it all, we never lost the constant excitement and nervousness because for us every game is the big game.
Now that we've grown up, though, we find ourselves with a unique confluence of skills: decades of playing on, coaching and managing teams at all levels coupled with a rich set of skills in data, analytics and AI. Data Punk Hockey is how we're bringing these skills to you.
What is Data Punk Hockey?
Data Punk Hockey is about Analytics, AI and hockey. Our aim is to provide a fun and engaging learning experience that increases your awareness, excitement and analytics skills specific to hockey (and potentially other sports).
Through regular newsletters, daily team and player analyses, online courseware and a connected community, Data Punk Hockey gives you the skills you need to become an expert Data Analyst, Data Scientist, Sports Scientist, or Sports Journalist.
Our goal is simple: give you the learning platform, knowledge and skills for your hockey analytics journey. And if we develop a few worldwide friends along the way, then all the better.
What does our Content Cover?
We have both free and paid content.
Free content includes weekly newsletters, access to select data and tutorials, and courseware and learning content. This requires you to sign up as a DPH community member, and you'll receive updates via email. Example topics are:
- Puck 101 – for the absolute beginners of hockey and hockey analytics
- Analytics, AI and Hockey Bootcamp – where we've published content for the beginner to the advanced
- Advanced AI Topics – for those that want to understand how to analyze hockey data using AI and Machine Learning
And much, much more!
Paid or premium content includes curated datasets, team/player performance reports and select projects where we'll deep dive on a specific topic. We'll also provide our reports, dashboards and application code. Example resources include:
- Team and player datasets that are curated and updated daily
- In-depth tutorials covering a variety of topics
- Completed analyses and dashboards along with data management code and best practices
If you're an enthusiast interested in reading up on different topics and don't have a lot of interest in hands-on practicum, then the free membership will likely suit you best. If you're looking to go deep and want to use the data and reports we create for your own projects, then you might want to try the premium path.
Regardless of what type of member you are, be sure to email us if you want us to address specific topics.
