   Pass/Fail:

Lead

• "Schneider was named the league's Goaltender of the Year following his second season in 2009" - I doubt Schneider played two seasons in 2009.

Early life

• "He is a member of the Friends of Marblehead Hockey Hall of Fame, inducted on August 18, 2008, as the only born-and-raised native to be drafted into the NHL." - this is in a really odd place. He was born, then he became a hall of famer, then he began playing hockey. It's also odd to mention an accolade he earned for being drafted two sections before you state that he was drafted. He was drafted out of high school, correct? I would move the fact that he was drafted up into the high school section, then end with the note that he was named to the Marblehead HOF. I think that would tie the statements together in a logical spot. It would also give the high school section a little more meat.
• "While playing with the Boston College Eagles, Schneider was enrolled as a finance major in the college's Carroll School of Management" - As this statement focuses on his education rather than his play, I would focus on the school rather than the team: "While attending Boston College..."

High School

• His participation with the USNTDP needs a reference

College

• "His 1.96 GAA was first among goaltenders in league play, earning him the Hockey East Goaltending Award (his overall GAA including inter-league play was 2.11)" Would it not be more accurate to say he was first in conference play, and that his GAA including inter-conference play was 2.11?
• "Shutting the Terriers out to advance to the Frozen Four," I'd link to Frozen Four, as someone not familiar with American college hockey probably wouldn't understand it.
• "He captured his second Lamoirello Trophy in three years," - implies that the Lamoirello Trophy is an individual award. "He led the Eagles to their second Lamoirello Trophy in three years"?

Manitoba Moose

• "He was regarded as the Canucks' third-string goalie behind Roberto Luongo, who had been nominated for the Vezina Trophy the previous season" - not seeing the relevance of Luongo's nomination here. It just needs to be noted that Luongo was the starter, and Sanford the backup.

Records

• Need cites for the three Boston College and two Manitoba Moose records not currently cited.

Images, references and overall writing look good. Just a few odd statements and a couple cites that need to be cleaned up. As such, placing the article on hold. Cheers! Resolute 00:14, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Took care of most items; will come back for the references soon. Orlandkurtenbach (talk) 02:47, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Found references for each record, with the exception of the Moose shutouts mark. I ended up removing it and putting it on the talk page, just so the information isn't lost while I keep looking for a reference. Hope it that should be sufficient.. Orlandkurtenbach (talk) 08:38, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Looks good, and looks like a pass! Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be working on another Flames player now... Resolute 16:38, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
