[edit] This team still exists...

The Richmond Sockeyes still exist, but not in the BCHL. They play at Minoru Arena and just underwent an ownership change. I don't know enough about the team or the league it's in to write anything about it, but the Richmond Review and Richmond News would be good sources to start from, if anyone wants to write a disambiguated article about the current Sockeyes team. -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 09:46, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, they play in the Pacific International Junior Hockey League, but were not sure if they are the same team... or a team from the same town with the same traditional name. DMighton 18:59, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm very sure it's the same team. The news story from the Review or News (forgot which one) that talked about the team's ownership never said anything about the team folding, and the article went all the way back to the team's beginnings, if I remember correctly. -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 01:58, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, if you want, you can edit the article to imply that. DMighton 02:26, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

If I had the sources to back it up (besides my memory), I would... unfortunately, the Review and the News don't archive every single article (or they remove it from their website after about two days). -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 07:10, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Should I update the article to include the pre-PIJHL and post-PIJHL histories? SportingFlyer 06:47, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes... include everything! DMighton 06:47, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Alright... I have one more stub to make for the KIJHL (two with expansion) but I'm getting a head start on the PIJHL now then. SportingFlyer 06:49, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

When you create a new hockey page... add a Ice Hockey WikiProject boilerplate to its talk page so it will be easier to monitor for other users... there is already one on this talk page... but a lot of the pages you are creating are without. Good job though. DMighton 07:00, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

For instance on the talk pages? Not quite sure what a boilerplate is to be honest. Thanks for all your help. SportingFlyer 07:01, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
