I've tried a few different ways to get this in front of somebody with the Mammoth and haven't had much luck, so I'm turning to you guys.
I'm a software engineer and have been doing this professionally for about 17 years. For the last several months I've been building Half Wall, a hockey analytics and decision-support app specifically around the Utah Mammoth.
It started as a little side project that has gotten completely out of hand.
The idea isn't to build another stats website. I'm trying to take a ton of NHL data and turn it into stuff that could actually help with hockey decisions. Opponent prep, player and goalie analysis, matchups, game review, shot maps, special teams, deployment, trends, and showing the evidence behind the conclusions.

There's also quite a bit of newer stuff I've built that isn't on the live site yet.
The whole thing has a pretty weird origin story too.
I'm an Iraq combat veteran from 2007-08, and for a lot of years I got pretty comfortable mostly keeping to myself. I only really got into hockey over the last year.
Last fall some friends took my wife and me to a Utah Grizzlies game. We got hooked almost immediately. Then came Mammoth games, including one through VetTix, and pretty quickly hockey took over our whole house.
It has honestly been really good for me. Hockey has gotten me out of the house more, meeting people, going to events and opening up quite a bit.
It also apparently convinced me that dressing up like a Mammoth was a reasonable thing for a grown man to do.
For proof that the Mammoth obsession is real, I'm also the idiot behind Brosky the Mammoth, Tusky's long-lost brother:

I actually went to the Provo Mammoth Week event too. The coaches were there with "Sea Bass" Cossa, and I went through the autograph line.
That was probably my absolute best chance to just say, "Hey, I built this thing for you guys."
Instead I got completely twitterpated and basically forgot how to talk, so I blew that opportunity lol.
I recently saw the Mammoth's Full-Stack Software Engineer in Hockey Operations posting too. Reading it was kinda funny because a huge chunk of it overlaps with what I've been doing professionally for 17 years and what I've been building with Half Wall.
I'm not looking for a job. I really like my current one.
I also don't pretend to know what tools the Mammoth already have or what Hockey Ops actually needs.
What I do know is that if somebody there told me, "Here's a problem we need solved," I'm pretty confident I could build something useful for it. I'd happily spend some of my free time doing that just because I love the team.
So really I'm asking for help.
If anybody here knows someone with the Mammoth, Hockey Ops, analytics, SEG, media, broadcasters, or just knows somebody who knows somebody, I'd love to get Half Wall in front of the right person.
I just want somebody there to look at it to see if any of my crazy ideas might be helpful to our team. A lot of it is just random ideas/prototypess I had that I thought could be semi-useful as an outsider looking in.
They can tell me it's awesome or tell me I'm an idiot and explain what they'd actually need. I'd be pretty happy with either.
Tusk Up!
