Eliteprospects vs hockeydb?

[J bo Jeans]

Which one do you prefer? Personally I like eliteprospects better as they usually go all the way back to the players minor hockey stats if they-re available. Elite also does a better job for the players info and the trophy display is also pleasing.

hockeydb is more of a historical database in my experience.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Elite Prospects. More thorough information including stats from pre-junior and an interface that doesn't look like a throwback to 2003.

DB when I want a quick glance at players but elite if I want more detailed info.

I think DB has a more eye pleasing and simple format that’s easier to click through

The draft history and even the trade history is pretty useful on Hockeydb as well.

EP lags way too much for me. all the pop ups, etc.. cant do it unless i need more depth or want to know if xx player is related to someone.

hockeyDB is for quick stat lookup for me. for every 20 times i go to HDB, i go once to EP.

 

[gifted88]

DB for goalies, eliteprospects for everyone else.

I wanted to comment how is this even a question in 2022 but the score is 17-0 atm so yeah, it isn't.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

When it comes to prospect information, its EliteProspects and it isn’t close.

When it comes to established/former NHLers, I find the HockeyDB and it’s interface is easier to follow.

This sub would be nothing without EP

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

EP and it isn't even remotely close. I use EP over any other hockey-based website.

Need to stop pressuring me to sign up for an account, though. Relax.

Eliteprospects AINEC.

 

[Skiiiiiiinerrr]

Elite is my go to. It's a fantastic resource.

This is 100% my thought as well

There are a few specific things that I use hockeydb for because its much faster (especially looking up draft picks). For the most part, though, I've migrated to EP

 

[hypereconomist]

HockeyDB for coaching records, goalie stats, and draft searches. Eliteprospects for general stats coverage and comprehensiveness. Hockey-Reference for everything else.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Eliteprospects for anything related to prospects, HockeyDB for quick info on basic NHL stats(i do like the clean look).

Only two I use except for NHL.com when i want to see hits.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Hockeydb elite has way too many popups

 

[DoingItCoolKiwi]

EP 100% but god damn can they stop with the max site visits bs

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Capfriendly is my go to
I find ever since Elite Prospect got a premium their overall site became slow. takes a few secs for it to load now kinda annoying

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

i just noticed elite has a couple years of my minor hockey stats lol... no idea how they got their hands on that.

DB is still always my go to though BUT i do like elite for the minor hockey stats and up to date World championship type tournaments

 

[Akrapovince]

Hockeydb is much easier to navigate and use for just a quick glance at stats.

For diving into midget, bantam, international play, you go eliteprospects.

Major midget, bantam, rem all record stats locally on websites and such. It’s pretty easy to just pull up, my little brother played REM AA (the lowest rep hockey there is in Edmonton) and even his stats are on there.

You would assume stats would be tracked for the whl bantam draft and such at that level.

 

[Fantomas]

I used to always say EliteProspects, but it's not very good anymore. Full of junk and ads and there's actually a view limit per month.

A very irritating website and I would never give them my money.

Hockeydb would be the best if they expanded their stats a little bit. For example, if they included stats for international tournaments. I would stop visiting EP completely if they did that.

 

[Kcoyote3]

For an absolute nerd like me I pay for EP. Hockeydb I still use to quickly look over past drafts for specific teams cause it is easy to see and read.

 

[AlternateSideParking]

Elite Prospects is useless and a mess to navigate. It's definitely a dumbed-down version of the official league stat pages, which a simple bookmarks bar is all you need for one-click navigation. And I can't fathom why anybody would pay them for "premium" stat options when all they do is cut and paste (or upload) the same shit from the official league sites.

Go. To. The. League. Sites. Almost all have english options anyway.

Made the decision to never use EP again two years ago and it has had zero impact on my ability to get player data. I literally never use it because I feel scummy supporting those copycat frauds, and also because the league sites are more accurate and official. The league sites provide you everything you need with context and advanced data, game logs, TOI, shots, etc. All free. IIHF data? All free.
