hockeyR (version 1.3.0)

get_rosters: Get team rosters from hockey-reference.com

Description

Get the latest roster for any team from hockey-reference.com. You may enter either the team abbreviation or the full team name. Seasons must be 4-digit integers denoting the end-year of the regular season desired (ie 2021-22 season should be 2022)

Please note that this uses the hockey-reference.com team abbreviations, the oddest of which is Vegas being 'VEG' instead of 'VGK'. If you are unsure of the team abbreviation, enter the full team name instead, or check the full team abbreviations data and filter to your desired season:

filter(team_abbr_yearly, season_short == {season})
