scraper.py: Collects game data from the various hockey leagus, and processing into variables such as goals, primary assists and secondary assists for situations including even-strength, 5v5, powerplay and shot-handed.
pre_processing.py: Combines game data and roster data into a single dataframe, and transform variables to useful metrics for the scouting team such as Even Strength Goals For%(EV GF%) and Primary Points per Game.
schedule.py: Collects league schedule using requests, and outputs as a list of game_id to feed into scraper.py
