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, the sdv-internal-refs capture shape, 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.

Details

Regular season only: the site's playoff standings are not read.

Source: GET https://www.vhlru.ru/en/standings/league/{season}/ (server-rendered HTML, keyless; parsed with rvest). Unofficial use of a public source; payloads are not redistributed.

Owner flag (sanctions)

The VHL is run by Russian league operators, and several clubs are owned or sponsored by sanctioned state companies. Fetching on your own machine is fine; a published data release or a hosted mirror of this data needs the owner's sanctions / legal sign-off first.

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).
