Created by Flibirigit (talk). Self-nominated at 07:45, 3 July 2019 (UTC).
Substantial article on excellent sources, no copyvio obvious. - Sorry, I would not be hooked. "sportsman" seems overly general, "ice hockey" would be more specific, and "greatest ever" is not my cup of tea, and then to something I never heard of, while he was instrumental in national and international organizations. Please. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:41, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
