Armchair Hockey Scout: an NHL annual that keeps score

Field notes

Reports use a recurring four-part structure: last season, finesse, physical play, and intangibles, with the statistical record presented as the starting point for interpretation. The homepage lists 748 players in the 2026-27 edition and names all 32 clubs, while the archive preserves two seasonal editions for later comparison. It also describes overnight-refreshing numbers and pregame reports as part of the publication’s operating model, though the extract does not verify those workflows beyond the homepage copy.
