Talk:Colleen Howe

Halls of Fame
The claim that she and Howe were inducted into the US Hockey Hall of Fame isn't verified on the US Hockey Hall of Fame list of enshrinees. Any way to get primary verification? Bongo matic  02:45, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Well isn't that something it is listed on the Vancouver Sun article Star article CBC article tsn article ctv article and so on, the google list goes on forever. SriMesh | talk  02:54, 8 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Mayhaps the newspapers are confusing the Wayne Gretsky Award from the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame with being inducted directly into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame if she is not on the actual Hockey Hall of Fame website. The newspaper sources for the Wayne Gretsky Award are sporting news nhl.com globe and mail and ctv to name a few.SriMesh |  talk  02:54, 8 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Perhaps after all this newspaper hullaballoo she will be inducted, if she is not already. SriMesh |  talk  02:54, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Re Howe and U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Monday, March 9, 2009 10:38 AM From: "Hall Info"  To: saskgenweb@yahoo.com Mark Howe was Inducted in 2003. His Family, Gordie, Colleen, Mark and Marty, received the Wayne Gretzky Award in 2000.

Mrs. Howe is NOT Inducted in the United States Hockey Hall of Fame Museum, only her son, Mark.

Ohio peer review - deletion

 * So does this woman have any relation to Ohio? §hep  Talk  04:15, 12 March 2009 (UTC)


 * It was reported originally that she was from Sandusky Ohio and there is also Sandusky Michigan which is her home town. sorrySriMesh |  talk  06:20, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

unintended gender bias? / visibility
It seems a bit weird that in an article about a talented, accomplished woman, the only image is of her husband. I appreciate that he's not exactly a minor figure, but still. Who is this article about? Pufferfyshe (talk) 12:55, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Michigan's first indoor ice hockey rink
"She was instrumental in the construction of Michigan's first indoor ice hockey rink" - while the source uses the same wording, surely there is something missing in this description. First ice hockey only rink, maybe? First public ice hockey rink? I mean, it's not like the Red Wings played outdoors. Echoedmyron (talk) 14:05, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
