Get ESPN MCH League Leaders

Usage

espn_mch_leaders(
  category = "offensive",
  season = most_recent_nhl_season(),
  season_type = 2L,
  limit = 50L,
  page = 1L,
  sort = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

category

Stat category to display. For MCH one of "offensive", "defensive", "general", "penalties", or NULL for all categories. Defaults to "offensive".

season

Season end-year (e.g. 2025). Defaults to most_recent_nhl_season(). ESPN's MCH statistics/byathlete endpoint currently ignores this parameter and always returns the current/most-recent season. The argument is accepted for forward-compatibility but does not filter upstream. The returned season and season_type columns reflect the season ESPN actually served, not this value.

season_type

Season type code (1 = pre, 2 = regular, 3 = post). Defaults to 2. ESPN's MCH statistics/byathlete endpoint currently ignores this parameter. The returned season_type column reflects the type ESPN actually served.

limit

Athletes per page (default 50).

page

Page number (default 1).

sort

Optional ESPN sort query string.

...

Reserved for forward compatibility.
