Removed incorrect/unreliable information

[edit]

I removed links for James Power and Byron Weston, since the links clearly pointed to different people (of the same name). I also removed the year when Power started writing, which is irrelevant to the article (might belong in an article about Power) but may have misled the reader into thinking that the rules had been published around that time. Instead I put the year in which the rules actually were published. And I removed the sentence saying that the first ice hockey rules "appear" (weasel word) to have been the Halifax Rules, because there is no evidence of this. Even rule #3 refers to "at present", thus making it clear that the Halifax rules were first published long after other sets of rules had been. I replaced this by a sentence mentioning the hypothesis but also noting the lack of evidence for it. Mpj81 (talk) 13:23, 27 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
