Ice hockey is a highly popular sport that has seen significant increase in the use of sport analytics. To aid in such analytics, most major leagues collect and share increasing amounts of play-by-play data and other statistics. Additionally, some websites specialize in making such data available to the public in user-friendly forms. However, these sites fail to capture the semantic information of the data, and cannot be used to support more complex data requirements. In this paper, we present the design and development of an ice hockey ontology that provides improved knowledge representation, enables intelligent search and information acquisition, and helps when using information from multiple databases. Our ontology is substantially larger than previous ice hockey ontologies (that cover only a small part of the domain) and provides a formal and explicit representation of the ice hockey domain, supports information retrieval, data reuse, and complex performance metrics.
