Hello! My name is GhostRiver, and I'll be conducting this GA review. I will assess the article against the good article criteria. Once I complete my review, you will have seven days to implement the suggested edits.

GhostRiver, I believe I have addressed all of your concerns to date. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 16:11, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

HickoryOughtShirt?4 Apologies for the delay, I have been dealing with personal and medical issues. Earwig is down as of my writing this, so I'll let you address the prose comments before I do a CV sweep. Putting on hold. — GhostRiver 20:05, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

• No worries GhostRiver, health always comes first. Fun fact: I looked at other GA hockey articles for inspiration on the lead and began copying JVR's article when I realized it seemed familiar...two years fly by! HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 18:49, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Made a couple extra tweaks. I'd go to the WikiProject to get clarity on whether career statistics sections should be cited so we can get consensus. Passing now. — GhostRiver 19:30, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
