Talk:Dany Heatley

Shootout
On October 5th, 2005, opening night for the 2005-06 NHL season, Daniel Alfredsson and Dany Heatley became the first players to score the winning goals for a shootout in NHL history when they both scored against the Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Ed Belfour.

I don't get this... --129.11.76.230 15:43, 12 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Agreed. By definition, two different players cannot score the winning goal in the same game.  I've revised that sentence slightly. Resolute 04:48, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

He meant them to both score. Technically, the first was Alfredsson, then Heatley got the winner.

German hockey player?
I've never understood the point of labeling players like Heatley (and the Regehr brothers in Calgary) as being foreign based simply on the location of their birth. Heatley's parents are both Canadian, and his German "heritage" is nothing but an accident of location when he was born. That does not strike me as enough of a reason to add Heatley to the "German Canadians" and "German Hockey Players" categories. Resolute 04:48, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
 * His mother is German. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.192.61.106 (talk • contribs).

His mother is a Canadian citizen. His father is Canadian. He's not eligible to play for team Germany either. Dany Heatley is Canadian.
 * He has both citizenship. His mother is german. She should have also two citizenship --141.6.11.11 (talk) 16:00, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

"The Trade"
Information regarding the two games against the Buffalo Sabres, including given statistics, was removed. They serve no practical purpose in the section, unless put into an overall season stat category or something of that nature. Information regarding the "altercation" was also removed. What does that have to do with the "trade"? What is it's relevance? It seems like those two specific games in his career were singled out for no particular reason; I assume because the person editing that page had done so just after those two games had ended. There's no place for "spur of the moment" information in his biography, unless it's a major event in his career. Those were games, like the many he has played all season. Too specific, and too out of place.

If someone wants to create some sort of "significant events" category and keep it updated, then the incident and stats from that game could be included. For now, it has been removed.

Inconsistencies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The following is found in the Dan Snyder Wikipedia entry:

Heatley was charged with vehicular homicide as a result of the crash. He pleaded guilty to third-degree vehicular homicide, driving too fast for conditions, failure to maintain a lane,speeding and D.U.I.

The following is found in the Dany Heatley Wikipedia entry:

Despite forgiveness from Dan Snyder's family, Heatley was charged with vehicular homicide as a result of the crash. He pleaded guilty to second-degree vehicular homicide, driving too fast for conditions, failure to maintain a lane, and speeding. Although alcohol was found in his system, he was not driving over the legal limit.

This article should become a subcatergory. This accident caused many Atlanta fans to dislike him and factored in his trade to Ottawa.

The points and goals leadership
I re-do my last addition regarding Dany's status as the Team Canada points and goals leader. He is the leader if we count only the points and goals accumulated during the world championships. If, on the other side, we count the points and goals from all the senior international tournaments (including Canada Cups, Olympics and Rendevouz), Gretzki is the uncontested leader - you can easily find it on his Wikipedia page. So I rest my case. Deinocheirus (talk) 14:12, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * The cited article is called "Heatley moves past Yzerman to become all-time points leader for Canada", you can't make up titles. -- Scorpion0422 14:20, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, you are absolutely right, I've missed the point where to add the words about the World championships and put it into the title of the article instead of the text itself. Thanks. Deinocheirus (talk) 17:20, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

the word
word on the street is hes headed to washington at seasons end. 69.157.71.221 (talk) 17:07, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

vandalism
Is it possible to re-add the protection template to this article again? I don't know why but this article is being vandalized pretty much on a daily basis right now. I guess some people have nothing else to do over the summer.--Freshfighter9 (talk) 16:43, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Again, this article is getting vandalized quite regularly... multiple times per day now. I believe it should be protected indefinitely. --Freshfighter9 (talk) 16:58, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * There has been nothing for about a day now, but if I see more vandalism in the short term, I will re-apply protection. Resolute 17:29, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

is it vandalism to describe someone who plead guilty to vehicular homicide as a murderer? 91.106.217.158 (talk) 18:46, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is. You may wish to familiarize yourself with the definitions of the two crimes, and how they differ. Resolute 19:14, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Dual citizenship
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Germany doesn't allow dual citizenship. Am I right? Norum (talk) 19:09, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Actually they do allow for it, with special circumstances. Basically you have to demonstrate that you still desire to be citizen on Germany and also explain why you require the second citizenship. In my wife's case, she owns property in Germany and claimed she wants to retire there. She also showed that she had better educational opportunities here in Canada, and required citizenship to take full advantage of them.smnc (talk) 01:48, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

2003 car accident information
Some of the information overlaps in the career section and in the personal section. My concern is redundancy. fds Talk 02:03, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

The car crash should have its own section under personal life because it’s unrelated to his playing career. While the effects of the crash impacted his career, the crash itself does not. Shazen27 (talk) 16:11, 23 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Fine, but if you're going to move all the material relating to the crash to its own section, be sure the section it came from makes sense when you're finished. You moved almost everything, but left enough behind to thoroughly confuse any reader unfamiliar with the crash, because all context had been removed. You left behind a vague reference to "a car crash" as well as a sentence saying "During the last part of the season, the Thrashers and the Atlanta community, including Snyder's family, were largely supportive of him, including telling Atlanta prosecutors and the judge that nothing would be gained by imprisoning him." Snyder? Judge? Prosecutors? Imprisonment??? The reader would have to do his/her own research to piece it all together. Not exactly my definition of encyclopedic. SolarFlashDiscussion  22:57, 23 February 2020 (UTC)


 * So if you agree about creating a subsection, why revert the edit rather than cleaning up the parts you felt were confusing? I see now in the edit history that others have attempted to move this content to a new subsection and it keeps getting reverted.  The event is one of the main things he’s known for and should be highlighted as such rather than being mentioned in passing as part of his playing career. I apologize for the incompleteness of my previous edit, and will be more thorough with the next.  Shazen27 (talk) 09:17, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Why didn't I fix your mistakes? Fixing your mistakes isn't my responsibility, that's why. SolarFlashDiscussion 13:24, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Canadian or German-Canadian?
Given that he was born in Germany and his mother is German, shouldn't he be German-Canadian?  Enigma msg  23:57, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Sources only say Canadian. Resolute 00:05, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I mean just based on the rest of the article. It even says he has dual citizenship.  Enigma msg  00:39, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
 * If he were actually of German ancestry I'd agree with you, but I've never seen any source to confirm that. He was simply born in Germany because his father was stationed there at the time. The Caper454 (talk) 02:46, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
 * The "his mother is German" and "he has dual citizenship" material was completely unsourced and unverified and has accordingly been removed from the article. Caper454 (talk) 02:49, 4 April 2014 (UTC)


 * According to several reports concerning his transfer to Germany, he definitely has German citizenship and therefore dual citizenship, as it says on the offical page of his new club: "Der 34-Jährige Stürmer wurde in Freiburg geboren, besitzt einen deutschen Pass und wird demnach nicht unter das Ausländerkontingent fallen.", which translates into: "The 34-year-old forward was born in Freiburg, has a German passport and therefore doesn't fall into the contingent of foreigners."
