Maurice 'Rocket' Richard Trophy
the page is modeled after the recently promoted Hart Memorial Trophy and is fully sourced.

In what may prove to be a controversial move, I have decided to only list the actual winners of the trophy and not the goal scoring leaders prior to the trophies creation, although the Art Ross Trophy (awarded to the NHL points leader) lists the pre-trophy "winners". My reasoning is that in the case of the Art Ross, both NHL.com and Legendsofhockey.net list all of the points scoring leaders in the history of the NHL. However, neither source lists every goal scoring leader in the case of the Richard Trophy. A version of what the list looked like WITH every goal scoring leader can be found here.

Any concerns that are brought up will be addressed. -- Scorpion0422 22:04, 29 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Support: I think it looks fine.  I like the historical background given for the trophy and the table is easy to read.  ludahai 魯大海 04:41, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose per tiny lead. Renata 05:07, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I have expanded the lead and it is now about the same length as the one for Hart Memorial Trophy, which is an FL. -- Scorpion0422 12:46, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, somebody should have opposed/commented on that one too. They both currently fail WP:LEAD. BTW, since this is the only article on the trophy, it should have more background stuff on it (history section is rather stubby). Renata 14:31, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I would love to add a long and detailed history section to every trophy page, but we can only add what the sources say we can add. Besides, I think MOST of the essential information is covered and I can't really think of anything vital that is missing.
 * As for the lead, I added a bit about the current winner. Do you have any other suggestions as to how I could expand the lead? -- Scorpion0422 14:35, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose The whole list is too short to be featured.-- Crzycheetah 21:17, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The table in List of current champions in WWE only has 9 rows, this one has 11. -- Scorpion0422 19:25, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * First, I didn't check the List of current champions in WWE during its nomination (there are several concerns there). Second, I meant the whole article(or page) not just the table. This article's size is less than six KiB and that's just too small.-- Crzycheetah 22:30, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Frankly, I am concerned about all of these trophy pages that were recently nominated. These are just lists of recipients of those trophies. There needs to be information about the trophies. Sevearal suggestions: who that guy on the trophy is(I know it's safe to assume that it's Maurice 'Rocket' Richard, but the addition is not redundant), what material was used to create this trophy, overall look description, who designed it. Where did the Montreal Canadiens get this trophy from? I wouldn't be so worried if this page was named List of recipients of Maurice 'Rocket' Richard Trophy. I would even overlook the size of this page and support. -- Crzycheetah 23:08, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * You can only add what the sources allow and unfortunately, there isn't much out there. Splitting the winners from the main trophy pages would make them stubs. -- Scorpion0422 23:24, 6 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment: I have readded the list of goal scoring leaders prior to the creation of the trophy.
