Wraps GET https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/icehl.hokejovyzapis.cz/league-top-scorers/{season}/{league_id}.json of the ICE Hockey League eSports bucket. Example: https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/icehl.hokejovyzapis.cz/league-top-scorers/2026/1.json.

- league_id
Competition id. 1 = ICE Hockey League, regular season and playoffs in one file (split them by league_part_name); 2 = pre-season (2025/26 on).
- return_parsed

TRUE);FALSEreturns the raw decoded JSON body (a nested list).
Value

Errors
Signalled as classed conditions: fastRhockey_no_data when the bucket has no such key (S3 404 NoSuchKey: unknown season, competition, match or team) or the file holds no rows (an unplayed game, an empty shot shell); fastRhockey_asset_fetch for any other non-2xx answer (403 AccessDenied), a connection failure after retries, an empty or unreadable 200 body, an error envelope, a body of the wrong shape, or a body for another season or game; fastRhockey_bad_request for an HTTP 400/422 or an invalid argument. All three also inherit fastRhockey_error. Wrappers raise; they never warn and return an empty frame.
