Talk:Oliver Wahlstrom

Birthplace
Is there a source where Oliver himself clarifies where he was born? Until the May 17, 2022 revision this page listed his birthplace as Yarmouth, ME in the infobox, but without a citation. A Portland Press Herald article from when he was drafted into the NHL in 2018 headlines that he was the first Maine-born player to be a first-round draft pick and calls him a Yarmouth native; various articles around the time of his college commitments, including some cited in this page, refer to him as a Yarmouth or Cumberland (adjacent town) native. His NHL player profile gives his birthplace as Portland, ME, which is also plausible (nearby city with relatively large hospitals). References to a hometown (not birthplace) of Quincy don't appear to pop up until his college career (e.g. his Boston College profile). His Team USA profile gave the birthplace as Quincy, MA and hometown as Yarmouth, ME, but given the other sources I tend to think that those may just have been typed in backwards.

I'm reverting the infobox to Yarmouth for now since Quincy is most likely erroneous, but I would be unsurprised if the actual location was Portland. –BumblyBea (talk) 05:22, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
