Team history
I've been mining the Post and Courier archives for info to supplement the team history. If anyone digs anything up there or elsewhere, please feel free to help me flesh it out a bit. Cjmclark (talk) 04:01, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Linked articles
Major help is needed in developing linked articles, especially for players who meet the notability requirements for WikiProject Ice Hockey per WP:HOCKEY/PPF. Mark Bavis, David Seitz, and Brett Marietti in particular require articles. Cjmclark (talk) 21:27, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Hockey Night in Dixie
After editing the title of this book in the references, I realized that it was published with two different subtitles. In the US, it was released with the subtitle Playing Canada's Game in the American South, while it was published in Canada with the subtitle Minor Pro Hockey in the American South. Both were published by Heritage House under the same ISBN in 2006. I have restored the title to include the Canadian subtitle as originally used. The only edit that stands is the author's name, which is Jon C. Stott vice Scott.  Cjmclark  15:23, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Team name origin
A reference is needed for the sentence in "The early years" claiming the team's name was selected by a local naming contest. The name of the individual who allegedly won is questionably notable at best. I have not been able to find a supporting reference and will be removing the sentence tomorrow if one cannot be found.

 * Okay, so I'm a bit behind. 5 days have passed and I have been unable to find a supporting reference. The ‎editor who added the sentence has not provided one subsequent to my attempt at making contact (as much as anyone can with an IP address). Additionally, the name of the contest winner is not particularly relevant to the topic, IMO. I have removed the unverified claim due to it not meeting WP:Verifiability and WP:NOR.

Franchise age
The Stingrays are the seventh-oldest operating franchise in the ECHL, not the fourth. They are surpassed by Wheeling (originally Carolina Thunderbirds, founded 1988), Greenville (originally Johnstown Chiefs, founded 1988), Utah (originally Virginia Lancers, founded 1988), Stockton (originally Cincinnati Cyclones, founded 1990), Reading (originally Columbus Chill, founded 1991) and Toledo (originally Toledo Storm, founded 1991). They were founded the same year (1993) as the Huntington Blizzard (now Ontario Reign). The current Cincinnati Cyclones are not a direct descendant of the original (founded in 1990); rather, they originated as the Louisville River Frogs in 1995. All of this is a bit too convoluted to explain in the lead and is probably not really germane to the article as a whole (as seventh oldest franchise is not particularly distinguishing). As such, I have removed it.  Cjmclark (Contact) 02:17, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Fan template
Is there a template for users that are fans of the team? Allen (talk) 11:34, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * You mean like this userbox?


 * Just add to your userpage.   Cjmclark (Contact) 22:02, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I didn't know where to find it. I'm going to put it on my page now. Allen (talk) 23:41, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
