Delete: Teenage amateur player who's won no particular distinctions, meets no elements of NHOCKEY. No evidence of meeting the GNG. Ravenswing 06:19, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep. He was an All-American, which meets WP:NHOCKEY criterion 4. T.C.Haliburton^{talk nerdy to me} 21:01, 28 February 2016 (UTC)~~ Changing my input to delete after reading Jkudlick's explanation. T.C.Haliburton^{talk nerdy to me} 01:17, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It would be quite difficult for Opilka to have been an All-American when he hasn't yet been to college, and playing major junior removes his eligibility to play college hockey. Are you sure you're not thinking about another player? Ravenswing 21:16, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - @Ravenswing: I believe Tchaliburton is referring to the CCM/USA Hockey All-American Prospects Game; Opilka played in 2014 logging nearly 30 minutes on the ice. I note that the game has only existed since 2012, so I must conclude that it is not a "preeminent honor ... in a lower minor league, in a major junior league, or in a major collegiate hockey league," thus failing point 4 of WP:NHOCKEY. No other point of NHOCKEY has been met, the subject cannot meet NCOLLATH because he has played in the OHL, and I find no evidence that he has met NHSPHSATH. His Google results generally do not meet the requirements of GNG, either for not being reliable, for not being independent, or for being routine coverage. I just don't see enough in depth independent coverage to meet GNG. — Jkudlick • t • c • s 22:29, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
