VHL Penalties

Penalties of a game: team, time, player, minutes and infraction.

Usage

vhl_penalties(season, game_id, stage = "regular", return_parsed = TRUE)

Arguments

season

Season END year (2026 = 2025/26; the calendar covers 2010/11 on). With stage it is mapped to the site's tournament id, see vhl_tn().

game_id

Required. Game id (game_id in vhl_schedule; the report's and the broadcast's idgame), e.g. 899223.

stage

Season stage: "regular" (default) or "playoff".

return_parsed

TRUE (default) returns the parsed tibble; FALSE returns the page's parsed record (a named list, plus _request with the season, stage, tn and the ids asked for).

Value

A fastRhockey_data tibble with one row per penalty:

col_name	type	description
game_id	integer	Game id (the calendar's game_id; the report's and the broadcast's idgame). The report and broadcast pages do not print it: it comes from the request.
season	integer	Season END year (2026 = 2025/26).
stage	character	Season stage: regular or playoff.
game_number	integer	Official game number (from 'No.984'); checked against the request.
team_side	character	Side of the game the row belongs to: home or away.
team_page_id	integer	Team page id (vhlru.ru /en/teams/{team_page_id}/), stable across seasons; for report rows the page id of the row's side.
team	character	Team short name (Latin; the report tables' form).
time	character	Elapsed game time of the penalty 'mm:ss'.
player_id	integer	Player id of the penalised player; null for a bench (team) penalty.
player	character	Penalised player name; null for a bench (team) penalty.
player_jersey	integer	Penalised player's jersey number.
minutes	integer	Penalty length in minutes (the unlabelled third column).
infraction	character	Infraction in English ('hooking'); null when the site leaves it blank.

With return_parsed = FALSE, the page's parsed record (a named list) instead.

Errors

• fastRhockey_no_data: the VHL has nothing for the request (a season without that stage, a game not in the season's calendar, an unknown game, player or team page).

• fastRhockey_bad_request: a bad season / stage / id, a missing argument, or HTTP 400 / 422.

• fastRhockey_asset_fetch: the page could not be fetched, or it is not the page asked for (another season, game or player; a missing table or header drift).
