Replaced the picture with a TSN image, though I'm not sure if it's big enough. If anyone can find me a better one, let me know.-RomeW 22:43, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Born-Again Christian?

I noticed that Markus Naslund is part of the Born-Again Christian category, but there is nothing in the article saying this. Also, a quick Google search yielded no results saying that he is. I live in Vancouver and follow the Canucks very closely, and I've never heard anyone say that Markus Naslund is a Born-Again Christian. Note that I'm not necessary saying that he's not, just that there doesn't seem to be anything confirming that he is. If someone would like to correct me and point out a source, that would be great.

I know he is, but if it's gonna be in the cats at the bottom, maybe it should be in the main article. But since I know of no real sources, it can't really be done. Marcus1060 01:23, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Sorry it took so long to follow up on this, but nothing seems to have been fixed. You say you know he is, but you don't say how. Do you actually know him or know a friend of his or something? Because it seems odd you could know this without any sources. I'm pretty sure it's against Wikipedia policy to just add things like that, so I'm going to get rid of it until there's a source for it.

Hey I know he is a born-again Christian too. He just doesn't like to talk publicly much about it or anything and in reality it isn't entirely notable to include in the main article. I remember a few years back he was in a flyer as an instructor for a summer hockey camp called Hockey Ministries International, which combines hockey and Christianity. That in itself seems to be enough just to warrant it into the category. Croat Canuck Go Leafs Go 14:21, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

I found sources that say he is a Christian and I've added them to the article. Nothing about being "born-again" though.-RomeW 22:39, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
