NHL API - Season Teams Sort in Player Profile
May 13th, 2025
We've adjusted the behavior of our Player Profile endpoint to always sort each season entry to display the most recent team first. You may now use this endpoint to reliably infer the current team for a player.
In the below example, Dylan Cozens was traded from the Sabres to the Senators in the 2024-25 regular season. The 2024-25 regular season entry (season id="c5ca79d2-9e65-4987-84da-6f26237a47b3" year="2024" type="REG") displays his Senators statistics first, indicating it was the last team he recorded statistics for in the 2024-25 regular season.
