NN hockey player with an undistinguished career in the minor leagues. An actual examination of the sources thrown up in the first AfD (rather than an uncritical "ooo, sources!", something echoed in the second AfD, where the keep votes consisted of citing the result of the first AfD) reveal blog posts and routine sports coverage

• Keep Passes
  WP:NHOCKEY criteria #2 by playing at least 200 (exactly 200, in fact) games in the AHL including playoffs. Although the criterion doesn't explicitly say postseason games are included, it seems logical that they would be. Smartyllama (talk) 12:45, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply

• Keep Passing
  WP:NHOCKEY is a good starting point. Since this player is active, I think its fair that we need to go beyond the SNG, especially since subject meets it on the button (although is playing in AHL this year). On their own, the content from Buffalo Hockey Beat (i.e., the Olean Times Herald) and Connecticut Post are enough for me on their face. Did a search and came across these: [1] and [2]. To me, the stuff in there and what I found go beyond routine - they are feature articles focusing on the subject. In view of what has been found and the SNG being met, I say keep.

  WP:NHOCKEY. Why is this person AfDd every year? gidonb (talk) 06:14, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply

• Keep - per my comments in the 1st AfD, he has full blown articles about him - thus not routine coverage - in several newspapers which are not blogs. Therefore he passes GNG. Rlendog (talk) 14:41, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep seems to have sufficient coverage for GNG even if they are somewhat localized. Will also likely (a bit CRYSTAL) hit 200 regular season AHL by the end January 2018, with postseason he is above 200 already. Yosemiter (talk) 02:48, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
