fails NHOCKEY and GNG Joeykai (talk) 20:54, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep: appears to pass WP:NHOCKEY, as he has played more than 90 games as a goaltender in the Western Hockey League. I added some news sources covering the Coyotes recently putting him as second goalie, after recalling him from the Falcons. Delta13C (talk) 12:05, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't think he passes NHOCKEY yet, because Western Hockey League is a junior team. It is only a higher league such as the AHL where we presume notability for playing a certain number of games.  That said, he has been called up to the NHL even though he hasn't played a game.  To my mind, sevring as a dressed backup goalie in a regular season or playoff game - which he has - should be adequate to retain the article, even though it doesn't technically pass NHOCKEY, since unlike other positions where all dressed players typically get into the game, the backup goalie typically does not.  But getting called up for a meaningful game indicates a certain level of accomplishment - arguably beyond merely playing a certain number of AHL games - and also generates interest in the player. 1Rlendog (talk) 00:55, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Playing the WHL means nothing as he never earned any honours. He has played 19 games in the AHL well short of the 90 needed for his position. Unfortunately being a backup goaltender in an NHL game means nothing as it is only considered notable when they play in the game; otherwise we would have to make articles for players who served as emergency backups. The only stories that exist about him (after a quick search) involve being called up to Arizona and signing his entry-level contract, that is hardly enough for an article to exist at this time.

 * Delete as I echo the above and there's simply nothing else otherwise convincing for independent notability. SwisterTwister   talk  17:22, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete: Certainly doesn't pass NHOCKEY, as the level at which the subject has played (major junior) would require him to meet criterion #4: being a First Team All-Star. He wasn't one.  None of the sources in the article go beyond casual mentions or the sort of routine sports coverage explicitly debarred by WP:ROUTINE as supporting notability.
