Strong Delete: So full disclosure, I don't usually visit the hockey part of Wikipedia. The scope of my editing is mostly limited to fish and wildlife, and I didn't know the first thing about the sport until I wrote this article about a week ago. Even now, if you put a gun to my head and told me to name a player besides Mason Siebe, I'd have to say "pull the trigger."

I came across this guy's picture while looking for CC-compliant pictures of cichlids on Flickr, and it caught my eye because it had pretty good composition and it was released under permissible licensing for Wikipedia. And then I thought to myself, "hey, every time I click the random article button, it seems like it's either an Iranian village with 30 residents or a hockey player. I wonder if this guy has an article?" And he didn't, but his team did, so I figured it would be fair game under WP:GNG, and I treated it as an exercise to step out of my comfort zone and learn something new.

I didn't realize WP:NHOCKEY existed; if I had, I wouldn't have written the article. I'm 100% on board with it being deleted, and I've removed the crosslinks I made to it in List of people from Spokane, Washington and Mason (given name) so it doesn't create any red links once it is. My bad.
