:::::[[File:Symbol redirect vote 4.svg|16px]] I think we're going to agree to disagree on this one. A generic hook is more appealing to a broad audience, rather than a hockey-specific hook.

Symbol question.svg Substantial article on excellent sources, no copyvio obvious. - Sorry, I would not be hooked.

Please. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:41, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
