Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I choose this article because, i'm a hockey guy! Sean Avery is just one of those player that I got to watch growing up. He exemplifies an old school gritty hockey player. Sean Avery is also a hockey icon, many people love his podcast, his youtube page, he is very talked about. Making him a very relatable person to me and very easy to talk about!

Evaluate the article
This article starts very strong with who Sean Avery is, where he came from, what he does (NHL). Focusing on his career it went into things like where he got drafted, to all the other teams he played for. This article is divided into many sections about his time in all his different teams, from his start as a Detroit Red Wing in 2001 and all throughout his journey to the New York Ranger in 2012. What really stood out to me was how up to date this article was, only two weeks ago Sean Avery sign a three day deal with the Solar Bears in the AHL this was added to the article and his player timeline. As I dug further into this article, there was a ton of valuable sources about Avery's Time in the league from all his suspensions, to all the fines be paid to the league. Another thing that was an eye catch to the article was a section labeled the Avery Rule. This was an actual rule that was introduced to the NHL (I remember watching this game like it was yesterday) Sean Avery was put on the power play (for those who dont know its just when one team has a one man advantage 5v4) what he did was stood right in front of the goalie and was staring him dead in the eyes running his mouth to the goaltender. From then on the rule implied a player can not stand facing a goaltender purposely taking his line of sight. From what I observed and the links I clicked on they all seemed very credible and very influential. In all truth, not because i'm a Sean Avery fan, but I do believe this article brought to life who sean avery is! It gave an in depth description of what he does, all the way to where he came from. Surprisingly I actually learned some things about Avery even a big fan like I didn't know, definitely can't complain about that!
