... that Logan Thompson(pictured) is the first U Sportsgoaltender to start a National Hockey League game in over 30 years? Source: (1) "According to U Sports expert and TSN broadcaster Victor Findlay, Thompson became the first U Sports alum to get an NHL start since former University of Manitoba netminder George Maneluk started for the New York Islanders on Oct. 28, 1990."

Improved to Good Article status by The Kip (talk). Self-nominated at 20:22, 16 January 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Logan Thompson; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Not really sure whether to say “is” or “was,” I’ll leave that up to the reviewer. TheKip 02:44, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
Starting review. Updates to follow. Ktin (talk) 03:00, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
Overall: Meets eligibility requirements. Recently promoted to a GA. Nominated within the 10 day period. The hook is sourced to The Hockey News which seems to be WP:RS. I find it amusing that the parent company Roustan Media has a Wordpress favicon, but, I think that can be. Hockey News seems to have a partnership with Sports Illustrated fwiw. Overall, I feel good. Hook is interesting. I would have thought the university system would have produced more NHL players. The nominator has a question regarding the use of "is" vs "was". I am in favor of using "is" because the player is currently active. The promoting editor can change if need be. Earwig shows no major concerns. I will note that there was a sourcing conversation as a part of the GA review. I wanted to acknowledge that one and note that the consensus seems to have been to go with the second-opinion provider. QPQ is pending. I would request the nominator to wikilink goaltender. It took me a moment to make the association. However, if the nominator has avoided wikilinking goaltender to avoid a WP:SEAOFBLUE, I can understand. Passing back to nominator. Ktin (talk) 03:20, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
Linked goaltender, don’t think it’s too close to SOB. I believe I’m exempt from QPQ, though - this is only my second DYK nom. I do also wonder if I should add “former” before U Sports; I’d appreciate your opinion on that as well. TheKip 04:21, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
@The Kip:Updating to QPQ requirement not being required. Also, image looks good. Represents work by the nominator. One could make the case that the subject's photograph is not visible, but, I think that is to be expected when the goalie wears the helmet. I think it is good to go. Re: the use of the word "former" -- I am good without using the word. The promoting editor can add it if they so desire. Reads alright without it. Nice work on the article.
