Everything looks good. Article long enough, sourced appropriately, and without copyvios. Hook is definitely interesting—maybe we run this on a specific date? There's a citation everywhere one is needed. As soon as the QPQ is done, we're good to go here. Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 15:33, 12 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

It shouldn't be too hard, with all our photos of hockey players on Commons, to find a good picture of a hockey player from behind, slightly bent over, showing off their hockey butt. Since Jaromir Jagr was mentioned, I looked through pictures of him. This one seems like it might work cropped in on him. But if anyone can find a better one, now's the time to suggest it.
