... that in 1977, a minor league hockey team beat the reigning Soviet champions, thanks to their star player scoring four goals?

Article created 20 June. No issues of copyvio or plagiarism. All sources appear reliable. The hook is interesting and sourced. QPQ not needed. One question, the career statistics section is not sourced. Can you please provide one? Once that is done, this will be ready. Thriley (talk) 02:28, 26 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

- It's sourced by Eliteprospects which is in the external links section. There's also a link to HockeyDB but there the information about the major junior playoffs is incomplete, otherwise the stats are the same. Шахматист2025 (talk) 08:25, 26 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

I see. I am not familiar with how career statistics sections are cited. A direct citation is generally not required? I am not sure of this. Michael Jordan has the stats cited. Thriley (talk) 15:28, 30 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Looks like it varies across articles. For a few examples, Alexander Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby have all stats cited, though in completely different styles, Brad Marchand and Auston Matthews don't. Шахматист2025 (talk) 19:52, 2 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

OK. Looks all set. Thriley (talk) 19:51, 5 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
