{{AFC comment|1=Note that the [[Western Hockey League]] is not a level of play that automatically guarantees inclusion in Wikipedia in and of itself -- and even at the NHL level, the test still requires actually making ice in a real NHL game, and is not automatically passed by every person who can claim to be a draft ''prospect''.<br>So I can only assess this on whether he passes [[WP:GNG]] or not -- but four of the five footnotes here are his own team's [[WP:SELFPUB|self-published]] content about itself on either its own website or a press release distribution platform, and while ''one'' hit constitutes proper coverage in a real media outlet, one hit of media coverage isn't ''enough'' all by itself.<br>So he would have to actually ''play'' in at least one real NHL game ''after'' getting drafted to claim notability on the basis of the NHL, and he would have to have a hell of a lot more than just one hit of media coverage to claim notability on the basis of the WHL.
