The subject of this article does not appear to meet the general notability guideline.He is an undrafted junior hockey player who won WHL Rookie of the year, but the community should decide if this satisfies the WP:NHOCKEY guideline for ice hockey players. Onthegogo (talk) 22:17, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep but because he passes WP:GNG. Besides the one in-depth article already cited, and the ten or so other cites that are various levels of routine/trivial, there are a number of other in-depth article about him: Faceoff.com, but credited to the Vancouver Sun, TSN, Vancouver Sun, though admittedly a little short, Calgary Sun, etc.  That's not to mention the numerous trivial/routine mentions of him if you do a google news search.  Additionally, the fact that he's a featured blogger on NHL.com, adds to his notability and GNG as well.  (As for the question posed by the nom about winning the WHL Rookie of the year; no, I don't think that satisfies WP:NHOCKEY, but, again, thats moot as he clearly satisfies WP:GNG.)

 * Keep Although it hasn't been explicitly defined, I think the major league's ROTY awards fit NHOCKEY. In this case, its moot due to the extensive coverage received elsewhere.  Canada Hky (talk) 22:41, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Rookie of the year hasn't generally been considered one of the major awards. However, its a moot point because he clearly meets WP:GNG with non-routine coverage in papers in multiple cities including a national story on TSN. And thats just using the links above, there are many others when you look on google. -DJSasso (talk) 11:34, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Obviously, obviously notable per above.  Onthegogo really should re-read WP:BEFORE, because he is clearly just wasting our time with this nomination.  And personally, I would consider the ROY a major award, but that is a discussion that should be held at WT:HOCKEY than here. Resolute 14:28, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'm of the opinion the ROY would satisfy WP:HOCKEY's requirements. But since this subject meets GNG anyway, it's an easy keep.  Patken4 (talk) 21:01, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
