Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the ✅ tag to state when something is addressed.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs)

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Lede

 * Russian professional ice hockey defenceman and alternate captain for the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League (NHL). -Can we not say "player", and comment on his positions later? Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:02, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I reworded the first paragraph to split it into two sentences, but including position and captain/alternate captain is commonly used in ice hockey FAs and GAs (see Eric Brewer, Sidney Crosby, Kevin Hayes)  Kncny11  (shoot) 18:53, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Yaroslavl Lokomotiv youth hockey - WP:SEAOFBLUE Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:02, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I removed the junior hockey link for the Knights. However, Since Yaroslavl Lokomotiv is a professional hockey club that also owns a youth team (from the articles I've read, in Russian hockey, you start playing for a club's youth team, and then you're expected to rise up to the KHL level), I think it's an important distinction to make here.
