NHL Team Ranking Model using the Stattleship Sports API and Neo4j

Introduction

As part of the sports track, this post will collect data from Stattleship’s API using their R package, and store the data in Neo4j. I want to demonstrate how to easy it is with cypher to rank NHL teams based on their season performance as well as the team’s they have played. Querying the data from the API will require a token, but you can sign up for one here.
