This repository makes available the files compiled by the Yahoo Group Hockey Databank.
In addition to the files I've created a sqlite directory that has an archive file
that contains the schema and backup file for my sqlite database. In the future I will
support PostgreSQL and possibly MongoDB. I hope you enjoy the data and if you find any
issues please open up an issue.
