The result was   keep. WP:NHOCKEY is relevant when it is the only source of notability, which is not the case here. Owen&times; &#9742;  08:22, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Non-notable player. OHL academic award is not one of the major awards per NHOCKEY. Canada Hky (talk) 03:12, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete As has been mentioned a number of times in Afds over the last few months as well as on the hockey project. Scholastic awards do not fall into the major award category. Fails WP:NHOCKEY. -DJSasso (talk) 03:13, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep There may be debate as to whether or not the Ivan Tennant Memorial Award is one of the major awards given annually by the OHL (I personally think it is), but Hamilton has demonstrated his notability in other ways. He was the first ever draft pick in Niagara IceDogs history; he played at the 2010 IIHF World U18 Championships where he was named as a top player for Team Canada; and he has also generated more than just routine sports coverage with articles such as this,  this, this, and this, which is more than enough to pass WP:GNG.

 * Keep passes WP:GNG based on sources found by Dolovis, especially the first and last. Just for the record, I don't think either the Ivan Tennant Memorial Award nor being named as Canada's best player at the IIHF U18, would qualify him as notable, but again, he passes GNG, so that's all moot.

 * Weak Delete: Err ... the notion that a "top academic player" award = preeminent honor is well to the left of farcical. It's not remotely so, and claiming otherwise is close to pointy; one wonders if there are ANY awards given out by the league which Dolovis does not consider to be "major."  That being said, I'm not entirely convinced by the sources, either; the local newspaper source is a relatively routine interview that's half about other matters, and the other sources the moral equivalent of blogs.  I'd like to see one or two more print sources which describe the subject in "substantial detail."   Ravenswing  16:59, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep References 3 and 5 give evidence of notability. Rirunmot (talk) 08:48, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Neither 3 or 5 are about the player in significant detail and are just mentions. -DJSasso (talk) 13:59, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep, does not meet NHOCKEY, but in-depth coverage from sources passes GNG. Nitalake (talk) 22:22, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
