GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
- Is it well written?
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- In the Professional section, just a suggestion, "Parise was chosen to play in the NHL YoungStars Game during the All-Star weekend, where he scored two goals and four assists, and as a result, he was named the game's MVP for his efforts", again, just a suggestion, cause somehow those two sentences should be merged together. Same section, "After the season, Parise was chosen as one of three nominees for the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy[17]" is a period missing? In the International section, "Next year" ---> "The following year".
- Check.

Same section, "After the season, Parise was chosen as one of three nominees for the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy[17]" is a period missing? In the International section, "Next year" ---> "The following year".
- B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
- Throughout the article, please link "Eastern Conference", "Easton Hockey", and "Easton" to their correspondence articles, as at the moment they stand out as disambiguations. In the Professional section, "On November 30, 2007 of that season" ---> "On November 30, 2007, of that season", commas after dates, if using MDY. Question: In the International section, shouldn't there be a consistency between "Under-18 level" and "under-20 level", which I mean with the capitalization of "U".
- Check.

- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
- A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
- "Sports Illustrated", "USA Today", "Calgary Herald", "The Star-Ledger", "Montreal Gazette", "Edmonton Journal", and "New York Daily News" need to be in the "work" format of the ref, since they are newspaper publications. Reference 19 has a different url link path, so you might want to update that.

- I think I got pretty much everything there, I don't think there is anything to do about the stability / vandalism that popped up last night, but if I can do anything more in that respect, please let me know. Thanks for the help improving the article. Canada Hky (talk) 18:48, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
