editCheck summary. Henderson was a career Left Winger not right wing as posted. This is in the hockey database - a cited source. Also article says summit series was WHA players. Error. It was NHL Players only and WHA players were excluded. Thus notable elite players missing included Bobby Hull and Gerry Cheevers and Derek Sanderson who may not have Played - yet they were not even comsidered because of employment in the "new"'league. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.168.75.136 (talk) 02:30, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Passing it. Here are a few nitpicks:
- "pee-wee tournament" - is it jargon, or teenage slang, or something totally different? Perhaps reword or link it.
- It is the name of an age level of minor hockey, which I have now linked to
- "history and physical education teacher" - highschool, college, university?
- Sources don't say. Only that he thought of quitting hockey to become a teacher.
- I am not sure if you need to put a comma after "however" in ", however the Detroit Red Wings". I think there should be a semicolon ahead this word and a comma after it.
- Reworded slightly
- " when they completed one of the biggest trades in league history to that time on March 3, 1968.[26]" - do you know the sum?
- It was a six-player trade, however quantifying these deals is always tough, as the "size" of a trade is often not just the number of players, but the quality of them too. I've noted it was a six player trade, regardless.
- "He also suffered torn chest muscles" - I added "from", correct me if I am wrong--Tomcat (7) 12:30, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
- That should be fine. Thanks for the review, I appreciate it! Resolute 14:56, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
"Height" of the Cold War?
editAs much as I would like to glorify the 1972 Summit series I don't think it is fair to say it was played during the "height" of the Cold War. If anything tensions were actually pretty relaxed during the 70s (see: Détante). The height would be in the early 50s, 1962 (see: Cuban missile crisis) or in the early 80s Second Cold War. Kndimov (talk) 00:57, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
- Fair enough. I was thinking in terms of timing rather than immediately related events, though it is worth noting that the Summit Series was conceived several years prior under Trudeau's concept of "hockey diplomacy" to try and help break the ice, so to speak. I'm open to suggestions on better wording, however. Thanks, Resolute 16:26, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
Picture
editDoes anyone think the picture of Paul Henderson need improvement? It looks to me like he just sat on a hotplate, or someone has a gun in his back. Jokem (talk) 03:01, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
- Alas, we are generally restricted to images that can be used for free. Fair use media is allowed only in limited cases. For this particular article, we are fortunate that the historicity of Frank Lennon's photograph is so significant that inclusion can be justified. Resolute 21:44, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
- I sent a message to 'contact us' in the NHL link asking for a better picture. I did my good deed for the day. Jokem (talk) 05:19, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
