 * Comment: original hook or ALT1 for April Fool's Day; otherwise one of the other hooks, with preference for ALT2, to run on 10 April 2019 (the first day of the 2019 Stanley Cup playoffs)

The "blood spray" hook is not an April fool's hook IMO and is not much of a hook either IMO. I would go with one of the other hooks for another day. Gatoclass (talk) 05:53, 25 March 2019 (UTC).
 * I agree that ALT2 is not great. The remaining three hooks are interesting. I suggest if possible though to tweak the remaining hooks to make use of the freely licensed photos of Don Cherry and/or Ron MacLean. The article currently has three areas with citation needed tags to be looked into. Flibirigit (talk) 23:52, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg This article is new enough and long enough. The ALT4 and ALT5 hook facts are cited inline, but I am striking ALT3 as reading awkwardly. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. All this nomination needs now is for the extra citations to be added to the article.

 * I added references for two, and hid in HTML comments the third sentence (the Canadian Screen Awards don't host info from previous incarnations, and online sources don't appear to have results for all categories from 2007; this and other categories are also missing from 22nd Gemini Awards). I don't think a photo of either Cherry or MacLean is necessary for this DYK. Mind  matrix  12:08, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
