Loaders for season-level PWHL datasets published as GitHub releases on
sportsdataverse/sportsdataverse-data. Each helper is a thin wrapper
around .pwhl_release_loader() which validates seasons, builds the
per-asset URLs from a (release_tag, file_prefix) pair, downloads in
parallel with optional progressr progress + optional DBI::DBIConnection
insertion, and tags the result with the fastRhockey_data S3 class.
Adding a new dataset is one new row in the catalog table below.

Season Convention
PWHL loaders use the end year of the season (e.g. 2026 for the
2025-26 season), matching most_recent_pwhl_season().
