List of Olympic men's ice hockey players for the United States

 * Nominator(s): Anthony (talk) 18:47, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because the similar Switzerland article recently passed. Sourced, thorough, the PR problems have been resolved. I believe this one is sufficient to pass standards now. Anthony (talk) 18:47, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Support Well written, well sourced, comprehensive. I believe it meets all the criteria. Rejectwater (talk) 20:17, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

Comments –
 * For the Miracle on Ice game, the score needs an en dash.
 * The em dashes in the last paragraph should be unspaced, per the MoS.
 * In the 1980 team photo, "Flame" probably shouldn't be capitalized. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 23:22, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Fixed all 3. Anthony (talk) 13:39, 3 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Quick comment:
 * The "Tournaments" column sorts differently for netminders (where is sorts as "Olympics") and the skaters (where it sorts exclusively by year). I vastly prefer the way it sorts for the skaters.  Harrias  talk 21:02, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I just noticed that myself. I have no idea why it does that or how to fix it, as it appears the tables are formatted exactly the same. I prefer the way it sorts for skaters too, but I don't know what to do to get the goalies to sort the same way. Any help? Anthony (talk) 11:06, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I was looking at the code also and came to the same conclusion. I applied a fix to the goaltenders table using the  function, just for the three goalies that have appeared in multiple tournaments.  Why it worked one way on one table and another on another is beyond me. Rejectwater (talk) 11:38, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

Support Excellent notes. --SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 10:47, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Support - didn't pick up any issues -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:58, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
