Find answers to common questions about ChelHead, our EASHL statistics platform, data collection methods, and platform features.
ChelHead is a comprehensive statistics and analytics platform for NHL 26 EASHL (EA Sports Hockey League). We provide advanced statistics, club rankings, player analytics, and a free agency system to help players and clubs track performance, make informed decisions, and connect with the EASHL community.
Our platform goes beyond basic statistics by offering advanced metrics like Deserve to Win (DTW), player scoring systems, position analysis, and detailed match breakdowns. We also provide tools for free agency matching, club comparisons, and Discord bot integration for community servers.
ChelHead reads publicly available Pro Clubs statistics and presents them in searchable views for clubs and players. We do not modify, estimate, or manipulate the underlying statistics.
Our backend infrastructure, built on Cloudflare Workers, processes data requests efficiently and updates data regularly. We implement appropriate caching and rate limiting to ensure fast access. Data is typically updated within minutes of games being completed, though data response times may vary.
We can only display statistics that are available from public game statistics sources. If certain statistics are not available, we cannot display them on our platform.
Data accuracy is a top priority for ChelHead. Since we pull data from public game statistics sources, we present the underlying values without modifying or manipulating them.

If you notice any discrepancies between ChelHead and the game, please contact support at support@chelhead.com and we'll investigate promptly. In most cases, discrepancies resolve themselves once EA's data updates.
Deserve to Win (DTW) is an advanced metric calculated by ChelHead that evaluates team performance based on shot quality, possession metrics, and scoring chances rather than just the final score. DTW helps determine whether a team "deserved" to win based on the quality of play rather than just the outcome.
A high DTW percentage indicates that a team created more high-quality scoring chances and controlled play, even if they didn't necessarily win the game. Conversely, a low DTW percentage suggests that a team may have won despite being outplayed, or lost despite playing well.
This metric is particularly useful for understanding team performance trends over time, as it can reveal whether a team is consistently playing better or worse than their win-loss record suggests.

ChelHead updates data regularly, typically within minutes of games being completed. However, update frequency depends on EA's data response times and processing delays.
Club rankings and leaderboards are updated continuously as new match data becomes available. Player statistics update as new games are played and recorded in EA's system. Match history is added as matches are completed and processed.
If you notice that statistics appear outdated, it may be due to EA's data processing delays or temporary unavailability. In most cases, data will update automatically once EA's systems process the latest match results.
