Is There a Market for Sports Statistics?

If someone calculates "new" sports statistics, or compiles statistical information in a meaningful way, would people pay money for access to it?

 

The reason I ask is because I don't know what the legalities are surrounding the use of statistics in sports. We all throw around statistics here and generally accept that they're freely accessible and public knowledge but who tracks a stat like Corsi/Fenwick for example?  The NHL or a 3rd party organization? Who supplies NHL statistics to sites like HockeyReference.com?
