Pass/Fail:

no dab links

Lead

"and made the Penguins immediately after being drafted." - I think you mean he made the Penguins squad

Junior

"at ages four and five Sprong played on teams with players as old as twelve or thirteen." - a comma is missing inbetween the words five and

Sprong

"The following season Sprong" - ditto
"He was ultimately selected in the second round, 46th overall, by the Pittsburgh Penguins." - This statement needs a reference

Professional

"against Ottawa Senators goalie Craig Anderson." - goaltender

Personal life

"Sprong remains a Dutch citizen but has applied for Canadian citizenship; as of 2015 he had still not received it." - is this still the case as of 2016?

The Guardian link should be to The Guardian (Charlottetown) and not to the national UK newspaper
