VHL Standings

League standings of one regular season (/standings/league/; /standings/regular/ ignores the season).

Usage

vhl_standings(season, 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().
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 team:

col_name	type	description
`season`	integer	Season END year (2026 = 2025/26).
`stage`	character	Season stage: regular or playoff.
`tn`	integer	Tournament id of the season stage (2025/26 regular season = 1374, playoffs = 1375); vhl_tn maps season + stage to it.
`rank`	integer	Rank (unlabelled first column).
`team`	character	Team short name (Latin; the report tables' form).
`team_season_id`	integer	Team-season id (khl/ terminology): one id per team per tournament, from the KHL's sequence (khl/: Spartak = 14934 in 1369; here Metallurg = 15017 in 1374). The `{id}` of `/calendar/{tn}/0/{id}/` and `/stats/players/{tn}/all/{id}/`. Not the stable club id (*_club_id) and not the team page id.
`games_played`	integer	Games played (GP).
`wins`	integer	Regulation wins (W).
`ot_wins`	integer	Overtime wins (OTW).
`so_wins`	integer	Shootout wins (SOW).
`so_losses`	integer	Shootout losses (SOL).
`ot_losses`	integer	Overtime losses (OTL).
`losses`	integer	Regulation losses (L).
`goals_for`	integer	Goals for (left side of the G column '226-131').
`goals_against`	integer	Goals against (right side of the G column).
`points`	integer	Points (PTS): 2 per win of any kind, 1 per OT or SO loss.

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).
