Random Hockey Player

Overview

The random hockey player generator was created to coincide with an ice hockey viewing party. I wanted to create a drinking game, where across multiple games several people could have particular players selected.

If that player was to score or assist, the person would take a sip of their drink but it can be used for any other reason you might want to randomly choose a hockey player.

The site uses the latest version of players as per the NHL database, so it will always be up to date. I used Postman extensively for setting up the data from the NHL API, which is an awesome tool that I couldn't live without, especially for undocumented API's like the NHL has.

Features

• Vanilla JS
• Fetch API with chained promises
• NHL Rest API
• Players are not duplicated
• Message notifying when player has picked all players on team
