Team faceoffs per season: taken, won, lost, per game, and win percentage overall and by zone.
Reads the Swiss Ice Hockey Federation statistics API (data.sihf.ch, keyless JSON). SIHF keys a
season by its END year (2026 = 2025-26). An unknown season, league_id or phase_id is never an
error upstream (SIHF silently answers another one), so every table answer is checked against the
body's own filter echo and refused when it differs. Every request is spaced at least one second
from the last one to the host.
Arguments
- season
Required. Season by its END year (2026 = 2025-26). A season SIHF does not have raises
fastRhockey_no_dataerror (the API itself silently answers another one).- league_id
SIHF league id: 1 = National League, 2 = Swiss League, 100 = MyHockey League, 3 = 1. Liga, 43 = SWHL B, 113 = U21-Elit (the body's League filter lists them). An id SIHF does not have for the season raises
fastRhockey_no_dataerror.- phase_id
SIHF phase id (regular season, a playoff round, ...; the body's Phase filter lists them).
NULL= no phase filter: the season summary over every phase.- language
Response language. Only part of the body is translated: status, position and penalty names stay German.
