There is some question about Simpson's place of birth. His NHL.com page[1] says he was born in Gloucester as does his hockeydb.com page[2]. There are other places that say he was born in Gloucester, but they are either less reliable sources or ones that probably got it from Wikipedia or the other sources I named. so I was surprised when I saw Simpson as a guest on OTR on TSN last week saying that he is from Vancouver.
I did a little searching and found a profile on Simpson in the Ottawa Sun from 2013[3] that said, "Adopted in Vancouver, his family moved to Chatham, then to Rockcliffe air base when he was five." I also found a cached version of a page from the Washington Capitals' website[4] from when he was working for them that said, "As Director of Hockey Operations, the Vancouver, B.C. native is primarily responsible for...." Given the fact that he has said himself on TV that he is from Vancouver and two independent sources confirm it, I am going to change the page to reflect this new information.
The Ottawa Sun article appears to list all the major jobs of his life, and it makes no mention of the Cape Cod Cubs. It is possible that this was a different person who happened to have the same name, but I will leave it on the page for now, as there is no clear source saying that the information is wrong.99.192.69.92 (talk) 02:59, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
