Pro Career

This lists the end of his professional career as 1997 but I remember him playing for the Providence Bruins (AHL) as late as 1999. Granted, that's minor league, but it's still professional hockey. Am I remembering wrong or should this be changed? Nsfreeman (talk) 20:31, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What's his 'known-by' name?

Was he really known by 'Bob Charles Beers', or is this just a way of disambiguating him from other Bob Beers's? LarRan (talk) 14:16, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is just how we disambiguated him from other Bob Beers. In cases where we know for sure what their middle name is we tend to use their middle name instead of (ice hockey) but that is usually only done when there are two ice hockey people with the same name, for that reason I have moved it back. -Djsasso (talk) 03:23, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
