The lead section: From the lead section, I feel I have got to briefly know about major aspects of the sport of ice hockey. I think as a summary of a sport, the lead section provide the most useful contents for people researching about the topic.

Structure: I am in favor of the general layout. I think it would be better to place section 5 under section 1, and to put section 3 after section 6.

Balance: I don't think there is any major point left out. And everything in this page are on-topic with ice hockey.

Neutral: The article is basically neutral in tone. Generally the contributors were adding contents in an objective perspective. Most parts are supported by references. In parts without many citations, I could barely find non-neutral words or phrases. On the whole, the article is narrated in on behalf of external resources with credits for original creators.

Reliable Sources:

Mainly the article uses a long list of published books, journals, and online articles, which account for various statements in the article. Most statements that are not followed by a link to an item in the reference list contain hyperlinks to other wikipedia articles, which talk about certain points in more details and provide external sources.Yuhanqiu (talk) 16:26, 12 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

The Lead Section: I feel as though the lead gives an extensive and very thorough explanation. The lead provides a very good background but there seems to be a lot of info that could potentially be put below in the other sections of the body so the lead isn't too 'bogged' down.

Structure: The structure is cohesive and works well with the topic. I would maybe suggest moving the history of women's ice hockey directly under the general history in the beginning. Moving it up and towards the men's and general history could be easier for the reader to navigate and understand.

Balance: Article is on topic and nothing seems out of place as far as information goes.

Neutral: Article is neutral in tone and doesn't make claims based in opinion, only fact.

Sources: reliable sources that come from books, online, and various databases. Lots of sources that range from 2015 to as far back as 2002.
