NHL Teams Info

Returns NHL team information for a given team abbreviation. Uses the new NHL API via nhl_teams.

Breaking change: The old team_id (integer) parameter has been replaced by team_abbr (3-letter string, e.g., "TBL") because the new NHL API no longer exposes numeric team IDs as a primary identifier.

Usage

nhl_teams_info(team_abbr)

Arguments

team_abbr

Three-letter team abbreviation (e.g., "TBL", "TOR", "SEA")

Value

Returns a data frame with team information filtered to the given team.
