 * Delete does not meet notability guidelines for hockey players, which exist too avoid including too many hockey players (although they are also way too permissive, but that is another story.)John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:17, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete This article was previously deleted through PROD in February 2016, and was recreated by the same user, who appears to have a COI. GNG does not appear to be met, though this was pre-internet coverage so that offers some challenges.  I found some archived newspaper coverage from his playing time with the San Diego Gulls and Fife Flyers, but just passing mentions.18abruce (talk) 13:31, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Just a note that the article claims he played on Canada's Olympic hockey team, which would mean that he'd meet WP:NOLYMPICS. But that doesn't appear to be the case. He did seem to play on Canada's national team, coached by Tom_Renney, but not at the Olympics. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:10, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
 * He played just two games with the national team and there's no evidence that he played "for a World Championship," so also fails to meet #6 of WP:NHOCKEY, I guess. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:14, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Given his one claim to (collegiate) fame mentioned in the article, would a redirect to UIC Flames men's ice hockey be amiss? - The Bushranger One ping only 00:21, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
