1) Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?

The article introduced Dale McCourt as a former hockey player. The article goes on to talk about how he played for the OHL team and his experiences with being drafted to NHL. It was mentioned in the article that Dale McCourt suffered legal issues in his career, however, it failed to mention any personal background information. In many Wikipedia articles, celebrities, authors, actors/actresses have a few sentences or paragraphs on their experiences growing up, family life, socio-economic status, etc. The article focused on the negative aspects of his career, instead of shining the light on how he became a hockey player, the experiences and influential people that brought him to a successful career. Nonetheless, the article was relevant to the topic on Dale McCourt. All information described in the article was about his professional hockey career. Nothing in the article was irrelevant or unnecessary.

2) Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference?

In the article, many of the references were not from a reliable source. Some information used in the article did not come from a peer reviewed journal article or a popular source; newspapers, magazine articles, etc. I found some references to be of personal blogs or fans of hockey writing about Dale McCourt. A large number of the statistics and records on Dale McCourt's professional hockey career was linked by untrustworthy resources.

3) Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?

The information mentioned in the article was not out of date. All information in the article was up to date on his overall hockey career; statistics, accomplishments and records within each year of his career in hockey; from 1977 to 1991. A few points I would like to add to this article would be more detailed information on his life growing up and how he became a hockey player. One important piece of information that is missing is an image of Dale McCourt. This can help Canadians connect to Dale McCourt's story a lot better.
