Yesterday morning the Oilers announced an analytics contest that they’re calling Hackathon 2.0. Essentially what the Oilers are doing is making the data they’ve compiled over the years available to people who want to do some analysis and try to answer four questions. It’s a concept that I find more than a little intriguing and that’s why, when the Oilers contacted me about the contest launch last week, I agreed to be in attendance for the contest announcement yesterday. In fact, if you watch the video of the launch on the Oilers website you’ll see my smiling face at the 40 second mark.
