Canadian national women's ice hockey team 2006 Olympic roster

edit

This is one of the few articles that can ever be considered "finished"; the event was months ago and thus the list is stable; the list has everyone who participated and thus is complete. I recently split this off from the article about the national team because the 2007 IIHF WWC roster may be different. I added references, a flag of Canada (there is no logo of Hockey Canada for fair use reasons), and see alsos (these exist because it is bad to have links in section titles, and adding text about the position has nothing to do with the players who play that position). and a brief explanation in each section. This list does not simply regurgitate what the reference says because the reference provides information in French as well, and I don't want to simply regurgitate what others have said (doing so would violate copyright IMO). This list meets all of the criteria, and should be featured. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 23:16, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - it's good as far as it goes, but I do think it would benefit from more information about the players in that tournament - goals scored, for example. I also think that it needs to make more explicit that it is talking about ice hockey. I would prefer the article to be moved to Canadian national women's ice hockey team 2006 Olympic roster, rather than relying on remembering that 2006 was a Winter Olympics year to know that it's not field hockey (which is what most Brits will assume is meant by the word "hockey"). --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 08:47, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think the article lacks information about the performance of the athletes in the games and the clubs they play for. I also find the title confusing, if the sport is ice hockey, that should be present on the title. Afonso Silva 12:24, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I added tournament statistics. Information about the players stats outside of this tournament should presumably be in their articles. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 21:18, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • There also needs to be a mention of how the players made the team, did they try out? Did they roll over from the previous national team? Surely the team had a coach or a manager? Tell us more about the team. Pepsidrinka 14:55, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I moved the page to include ice hockey in the title as per your suggestions. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 19:18, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Assuming it makes sense to have a sepearate page, could, perhaps, all of the players be listed in one table, with additional columns for "position" and "games" (that way, you could list the alternates with the main team, with a "zero" for games). The pages would look a bit neater with one table (all columns the same width, for example). It would also be good to expand the lead a little - "the team won all 5 of its matches, heading Group A, beating Finland in the semi-final and Sweden in the final, to win the gold medal". "SA" and "GA" don't link anywhere helpful, as far as I can see, and both Plus-minus and PIM link somewhat confusingly to disambiguation pages. See also Canadian national men's ice hockey team 2006 Olympic roster, Ice hockey at the 2006 Winter Olympics, Ice hockey at the 2006 Winter Olympics match stats (women), and the two pages mentioned? -- ALoan (Talk) 16:20, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I fixed the dablink problems and incorporated your suggestions. By the way, this list is more accurate and complete than the two lists you say it overlaps. For example, the rosters page you mentioned only included the Big 4 in women's hockey. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 23:42, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
