provider_league_id in schema.sql is the client_code value (e.g., ohl, ahl, lhjmq for QMJHL).
The QMJHL client code is lhjmq — the French abbreviation for Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec.
Cache TTLs
The provider fetches the full season schedule once and caches it, then filters by date for individual queries. This significantly reduces API calls.
| Data | TTL |
|---|
| Full season schedule | 30 minutes |
| Teams | 24 hours |
| Past games | 7 days |
| Today’s games | 30 minutes |
| Tomorrow’s games | 4 hours |
| 3–7 days out | 8 hours |
| 8+ days out | 24 hours |
Special behaviors
- Full schedule caching —
get_team_schedule() fetches the entire season once, then filters locally.
- Lookback — Scans 7 days back to resolve
.last template variables.
- Thread-safe — Connection pooling with configurable limits.
