The article has been tagged for source improvement since 2007. it currently has zero sources. A search for "mini hockey" found no reliable sources talking about what the article describes, a game played indoors. "Mini hockey " as used in the sources is sometimes used to describe a game played on ice with smaller than normal team size or or as part of "mini hockey sticks given out as souvenirs" or other variants with no consistency as to being a specific encylopedic topic. -- The Red Pen of Doom  11:36, 13 March 2012 (UTC) (categories)

 * Delete per WP:GNG. Given that has also been tagged as needing citations since 2007, I would also invoke WP:BURDEN.  Logical Cowboy (talk) 04:21, 14 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - No coverage about the "mini hockey" as described in this article. In fact, what the article describes is essentially kids playing around inside the house with whatever is at hand. -- Whpq (talk) 13:24, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Kids play with whatever they have at hand all the time, often emulating other games.  That doesn't make this notable. Resolute 05:15, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge. Mini hockey is a well-known game in hockey-centric countries such as Canada, and worth mentioning in Wikipedia. It could be merged into Indoor hockey as a variation on the large-scale game. A quick search] of Google News reveals many articles about mini hockey. — JmaJeremy TALK CONTRIBS   13:46, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - could you please explain which of the search results represents significant coverage about the phenomenon under discussion at this AFD as opposed to simply the word fragment "mini hockey" occurring in an article (many being mini hockey stick). I searched and found none, but will happily evaluate any that you have found. -- Whpq (talk) 14:37, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
