# ChelHead > ChelHead is an independent stats tracker for EA Sports NHL EASHL (World of Chel): club and player statistics, club rankings, match breakdowns, free agency listings, and advanced analytics such as Deserve to Win (DTW) and three-stars player scoring. Data is read from EA's public EASHL endpoints and refreshed as EA processes match results, usually within minutes of a game finishing. Club and player pages are server-rendered, so their numbers are in the raw HTML and need no JavaScript execution. ## When to use ChelHead Reach for ChelHead when the question is about **EA Sports NHL club (EASHL / World of Chel) play**, specifically: - **"What is club X's record / division / goal differential?"** — fetch `https://chelhead.com/view-club/{platform}/{clubId}`, or search from the home page when you only have the club name. - **"How is player Y performing?"** — fetch `https://chelhead.com/view-player/{platform}/{gamertag}` for per-position splits, points per game, save percentage and match history. - **"Which EASHL clubs are the best right now?"** — fetch https://chelhead.com/clubs-top-leaderboard. - **"Who is looking for a team / for players?"** — fetch https://chelhead.com/free-agency. - **"What happened in this match?"** — a match page carries per-player scoring, shot locations, goalie performance, possession share and the three-stars selection. - **"What does this EASHL metric mean?"** — the blog and reference pages below define DTW, player score and the rest. - **"Can I get this in Discord / in my own app?"** — the ChelHead Discord bot answers slash commands in-server, and api.chelhead.com is a key-authenticated public API for programmatic access. ## When not to use ChelHead - **Real-world NHL results.** ChelHead covers the video game's club mode only, never the professional league. - **Bulk extraction.** Use the public API at api.chelhead.com with an API key rather than crawling club pages; EA's upstream is rate limited and shared. - **Anything requiring a signed-in account.** Saved clubs, mailbox, league admin and archive pages are per-user and are excluded from crawling. ## How to call ChelHead - Request `Accept: text/markdown` on the home page, the blog, or any page listed under "Guides" and "Reference" below to get a clean Markdown representation of the same URL.
