Rinktide (rinktide.vercel.app) is a live NHL game tracker that visualizes shot pressure and offensive momentum shifts between teams.
The shot tide plot is produced using kernel density estimation. All shots (blocked, missed, saved, or goals) are replaced with a bell curve centered at the time the shot was taken, and then all the bell curves are added together to obtain a smooth, histogram-like plot of when shots were generated.
Rinktide is a React and Next.js app. It is deployed at rinktide.vercel.app.
You can run the app locally in development mode:
git clone https://github.com/williamckha/rinktide
npm install
npm run dev- Micah Blake McCurdy at HockeyViz for developing the original shot tide chart
