Should we add it, or should we wait a few years for the PWHL to be more established? Wheatzilopochtli ( talk) 21:31, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Waiting a bit is probably best. Flibirigit ( talk) 23:37, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Could someone take a look at HC Bat Yam? The article has a lot of Russian (?) text and the sources aren't good. – Poriman55 - Meddela mig! 21:27, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

I just noticed this WP:CFORK article returned after being redirected to List of NHL game sevens for three years. Anyone mind if I resume the redirect? Conyo14 ( talk) 22:09, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Seems reasonable to me, plus a subsection of the ten longest game seven overtime games could be added to List of NHL game sevens similar to the most frequent matchups in the List of NHL playoff series. Deadman137 ( talk) 22:32, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Sounds good. Wracking  ^talk! 23:24, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

In that overtime article, it's easier to know what the home-vs-road split is in overtime game sevens. While the original game seven article also specifies which games went to overtime, it's harder to track how many overtime games were won at home vs road, and it would feel like a tangent to squeeze that into the original game seven article. Hence with the overtime article, it's easier to track that split. Strangewrite385 ( talk) 03:13, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Within the Awards section of each NHL season page (e.g. 2023–24 NHL season) we have been including the Lester Patrick Trophy. Personally, I don't think continuing to do something just because it is how we are currently doing it is always the best reason, and its inclusion I think is something to reconsider. The nature of the Patrick Trophy is "to honor a recipient's contribution to ice hockey in the United States" and the winners can come from a number of different peripheries of the hockey world, not the NHL. In fact, only a small portion of winners have been active NHL players (especially in more recent years), and it has no connection to the active NHL season.
On our "List of National Hockey League awards" page, the Patrick Trophy is listed in the 'See also' section as follows:

• "Lester Patrick Trophy - presented, in part by the NHL, for contributions to hockey in the United States, but not considered an NHL award"

On the actual Lester Patrick Trophy page it reads as follows:

• "It is considered a non-NHL trophy because it may be awarded to players, coaches, officials, and other personnel outside the NHL."

And in recent media by the NHL about their own seasonal awards, it is not even mentioned (see: NHL to announce trophy winners beginning May 14)
The NHL does not include it in it's annual list of awards, our own IceHockey Project does not include it as an NHL award elsewhere, and the actual definition of the award does not relate it to the NHL season.
And as for one final argument, we exclude even more relevant trophies in the tables - a peripheral award like the E. J. McGuire Award of Excellence which is tied into NHL scouting on the season and related to the team that drafts said player, or other community awards like the Willie O’Ree Community Hero Award, which, similar to the Patrick trophy, rewards members of the community not necessarily related to the NHL, but is actually presented by the NHL and is included in the awards ceremony, or the old NHL Foundation Player Award which was given explicitly to active NHL players who contributed to their communities, and is only included in like one season Awards table. We don't even include all of the defunct actual regular season performance related trophies on their respective pages (e.g. Roger Crozier Saving Grace Award - 2000–01 NHL season; NHL/Sheraton Road Performer Award - 2003–04; Scotiabank/NHL Fan Fav Award - 2009–10 NHL season).
All of this is to say, I propose we remove the Lester Patrick Trophy from the awards table due to lack of relevance and/or at least add all of the other peripheral trophies, too (I am willing to volunteer to do the work). – uncleben85 ( talk) 15:22, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Sure, sounds good. It is a non-NHL award, mostly kept intact by the HHOF. Conyo14 ( talk) 16:45, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

If a person associated with the NHL receives the award, it could be listed in the see also section for that specific NHL season. Flibirigit ( talk) 17:04, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Agreed. Ravenswing 18:10, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Don't see any reason not to if it's not officially an NHL award. The Kip 20:25, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Discussion here. Just looking for some feedback and participation. The proposal is to ignore MOS:LINKONCE when formatting the Winners table. Makes accessing relevant links easier and fits consistent formatting over other tables across the IceHockey Project that are "overlinked" (e.g. [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], etc.) – uncleben85 ( talk) 17:23, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

I’m assuming that this has been talked about in the past, but I’m just wondering this for myself. Is there a specific reason that the ice hockey template does not support parameters like class or importance? Personally, I think it would be helpful. Can someone explain why? Thank you. XR228 ( talk) 21:52, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

We shouldn't have our own |class= parameter ( WP:PIQA suffices), but |importance= could be helpful. Wracking  ^talk! 21:58, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Just plugged in the class parameter, and it does in fact work, but the |1= makes it unnecessary, of course. The importance parameter does not work, but I think it could be put to good use. Is there a reason why it doesn't work? Can we make it work? XR228 ( talk) 00:53, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Canes' new interim GM is a redlink, but I unfortunately don't have the time to draft and publish an article at the moment. The Kip ^{( contribs)} 17:36, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Started a draft Wheatzilopochtli ( talk) 01:56, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

I've expanded it and cleaned it up. Would anyone care to do a double-check then push it to the mainspace?

unsure about the "Hockey career" header but I think it makes sense to split up his early career (nanotech, chemistry) and later career (consulting, executive role)... couldn't think of a better title ("Hockey analyst and executive"?) Wracking  ^talk! 20:53, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Looks good to me, made some minor edits. The Kip ^{( contribs)} 22:41, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

The article, however, is substantially lacking in prose about the tourney, which will for the moment prevent it from being posted to the front page. Anyone willing or able to work on it? The Kip ^{( contribs)} 05:16, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

A discussion about the use of team nicknames has begun at Talk:Vegas Golden Knights. The scope of the discussion has expanded beyond Vegas Golden Knights. Join the discussion here. Wracking  ^talk! 23:44, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
