The NHL dramatically changed their API, and I am going to need to rewrite a big portion of the bot. I don’t really have the time to dedicate to it right now, so I’m not sure when it will be back up.

I don’t think so. It’s completely free and open. If they really didn’t want bots, they could make it private. Or if they wanted to make money off of it, they could make it paid. But they aren’t doing anything like that.
What I have noticed is that instead of having one API call that returns a massive amount of data, they have a bunch of API calls that return smaller amounts of data. I think this is to reduce load on their servers. Philosophically, I actually think this is a good thing for them to do. It just kinda screws people who consume their API.
