• In [48], Winnipeg Sun should be listed as work rather than publisher, and should be wikilinked  Done
• Same thing with [50], minus the WL  Done
• The Province and Winnipeg Free Press should be italicized and linked in [53] and [57], respectively  Done
  • It won't let me italicize
• Archive references wherever possible using the tool  Done

General comments

• Sources are all to reliable publications
• Appropriately focused and neutral
• Pictures all look good
• Stability looks good
• Earwig looks good at 16.7%, and that's due to a direct quote

Outsider looking in: please consider a bunch of minor edits to the templates. A URL for the homepage of a publication is usually unnecessary, if there is an actual name--like here for Sports Illustrated, and here for that Hockey magazine, and for the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. That kind of thing ends up, in the template, putting that URL in italics and then the name in regular font. For the hockey league the name should probably not be italicized, but (I'm looking at this version) in note 29 "Washington Post" should be italicized (it is in note 25), and in 23 "The Columbian" also needs to be in italics. OK, for note 56, the Kovacs article, same problem: a needless URL, in italics, and the name of the publication, not in italics.

I strongly recommend that all the templates are scrutinized, because, to summarize, there are needless URLs in there, there are inconsistencies, and there are errors in italicization. It's time-consuming, but for a GA, it's a must. Drmies (talk) 01:42, 26 May 2021 (UTC) Checking in now that my head doesn't want to murder me. Pretty much everything has been addressed. Few more quick quibbles, mostly reference stuff:

• [3] is listed as "theqmjhl.ca" under "work", the rest have "Quebec Major Junior Hockey League" listed under "publisher"  Done
• [17] and [20] are missing a work and/or publisher Done
• What I meant with "italicize" was to change the param from "publisher" to "work". Apologies if that was unclear
• Now that the Jets are out of the playoffs (womp womp), a sentence or two about his playoff career would be aces.  Done
• Probably also worth mentioning that his contract expires at the end of the season  Done
