MYHockey Now Has 10 Years of Rankings Online
MYHockey developers have recently made some enhancements to the system that now allow us to display 10 years worth of information dating back to the 2005-06 season. All season we have made available the past six years of data, but we have just enabled 4 additional years.
To access the older season you can simply visit the Rankings Page, scroll to the bottom and click on the link that says Older Rankings Are Available on this Page. What you will notice if you spend much time looking through the archive is that we've come a long way. Today, MYHockey has over 200 rankings available. In the 2005-06 season, we had 9 rankings covered Squirt Major, Peewee Minor and Peewee Major for USA AAA, USA AA and Ontario AAA. The 2006-07 season saw us expand to cover Bantam Major and Bantam Minor (15 rankings). The 2007-08 season added Midgets, Ontario AA, Minnesota and North Dakota youth teams and all Canadian Bantam and Midget AAA teams. The 2008-09 season saw another huge expansion that set the ground work for what MYHockey is today. That year we added high school and prep rankings, girls hockey and college hockey.
Every spring we see a huge increase in interest concerning historical data. Midget kids are retiring from youth hockey and parents want a historical record of the years spent on the ice. Coaches retire and teams look to honor their legacy. Clubs look to assess their individual team and collective success, especially compared to previous seasons. These are the common reasons why the data is valuable, but if you have another purpose, please drop us an email and let us know how you are using the data.
This is a good time to mention that MYHockey is a largely free resource that relies on the contributions of about one thousand volunteers and ten thousand contributors each season. While we see over 250k people visit the site each month during the winter months only one in 250 is volunteering and only one in 25 is contributing. As a result, our data is neither perfectly accurate nor complete. We are always looking for assistance is entering scores and making sure all the game scores are accurate. The more people who help, the more accurate and complete the data will be.
