Talk:Nick Holden

Father Jack and the Vancouver Giants

I think there is some confusion about the citation for Holden's father and the Vancouver Giants. It says his step-brother, Jack Redlick, played for them (which he did, in 2001–02), but not his father. If I'm reading the right part of the article used for the citation, it says: "...Holden, the latest in a family of rearguards after dad John, one-time Vancouver Giant step-brother Jack Redlick...". It just says his father was a defenceman, not that he played for the Giants. Kaiser matias (talk) 19:29, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
