Been a while since I reviewed a hockey guy, so I'll give this a shot. Wizardman 17:40, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the issues I found:

  • "Conacher played his minor hockey with the Toronto Marlboro organization with whom he was a member of Ontario provincial championship winning teams at the bantam and midget age groups." This feels a bit like a run-on to me. Not sure how to reword it, it just sounds off when said aloud.
    Fixed?
  • "for the following two seasons where led the Halifax city league" missing a word
  • Fixed. Also broke up another run-on sentence.
  • The couple uses of colons don't seem appropriate; double-check those.
  • Removed a couple. Fixed?

Just a couple minor fixes, I'll put on hold and pass when fixed. Wizardman 03:39, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done, hopefully! Appreciate the review! Resolute 04:01, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Everything checks out here, so I'll pass the article. Wizardman 04:36, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rookie goal scoring lead

[edit]

Are you sure Conacher is the first rookie to lead the NHL in goal scoring? Nels Stewart seems like the first guy to do it in 1925-26 with the Montreal Maroons. Heroman26 (talk) 19:27, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. I checked back and realized I misinterpreted the source. Thanks for that! Resolute 19:41, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
