Listcruft, can be covered adequately on team pages. BoojiBoy 03:53, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete because of concerns with maintaining the list. In general articles should be static and a list of current hockey team captains isn't. As noted, articles on the teams or the individual athletes can and should note the players' status as captain. Otto4711 04:44, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - per WP:LIST - navigation and information. - Peregrine Fisher 10:38, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Just because a list may meet the guideline of WP:LIST, that does not automatically mean that all other considerations are mooted. Otto4711 15:03, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Where does it say lists should be static? - Peregrine Fisher 18:14, 8 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete - better handled by a Category, per most sports here. --Dweller 11:19, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. RGTraynor 17:03, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not Wikinews nor Wikisportsrosters.  While lists are not required to be on topics whose contents never change, those which aren't both readily maintainable and of some long-term significance are usually deleted.  This list has no sources shown.  I have trouble supporting even the similar list of NHL captains, and that's the major league of hockey.  For the OHL, when a team changes captains, it will typically be reported only in the local newspaper and on the team's website.  That's not multiple independent reliable sources.  (I come from a city with a team in the AHL, the most important minor professional league feeding to the NHL, and even the local paper gives nontrivial coverage only once a year to the captaincy.)  This information belongs in the articles on the teams and on the notable players as "2006-2007 captain", not "current captain".  If someone really wants to see a "current" list, they can use team and league websites, and WP does not need to contain less-up-to-date information.  Barno 02:00, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - List contains mostly non-notable players, in an amateur league. Flibirigit 04:40, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
