Non-notable hockey player and coach, fails WP:NHOCKEY, no evidence he passes the GNG. Played briefly in the minors and in the German low minors. Such sources that are presented are either from his team or fail WP:ROUTINE and WP:GEOSCOPE. One of a long string of NN stubs thrown up by article creator.   Ravenswing   11:39, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep or Redirect to Grande Prairie Storm. A quick search for sources demonstrates he likely passes GNG. Note: The sheer volume of AfD nominations by this editor (37-plus in the last three days alone) makes it impossible to fully research all of the articles to prove they meet GNG. Expecting any editor to properly research this large number of articles for GNG sources is not realistic or fair. The nom should be reminded that deletion is a last resort, and per WP:BEFORE should only be used after other alternatives have been fully explored. Dolovis (talk) 03:30, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: If you've found sources that pass the GNG, why haven't you added them to the article?  That being said, as many as a hundred articles go to AfD every day, and no one expects any editor to research all of them on the spot; happily, since these are Wikipedia's articles, and do not "belong" to any one editor, there's no onus on any one person to do so.  What is seriously disruptive is creating so many BLP articles without even a cursory attempt at proper sourcing.  Perhaps, rather than creating yet more NN sub-stubs, you could turn your attention to that.   Ravenswing   06:44, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

Delete. Fails NHOCKEY and GNG. None of the leagues are considered a top professional league according to WP:NHOCKEY/LA. Patken4 (talk) 21:11, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
