Roadmap

Completing the enhancements to the Grad Program data will be the first priority. This involves adding support for high schools and displaying of programs on player pages. Once this is complete, entering the data on hand that is missing will be performed during down time throughout 2020. The next priority will be continued refactoring of team season pages.

Chris Sinclair has also donated British Columbia results for seasons 1926-1940. Effort will be made to add this information to the database in 2020.
