Needs addition re: South Surrey Eagles
[edit]Scott had a terrific couple years here -- could use a mention. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cjwright79 (talk • contribs) 16:53, May 13, 2006 (UTC).
- Well, I guess in his career statistics, maybe. I know nothing of it, so I won't be able to add it unless I find something. Feel free to do so, I guess....if you can do it correctly, that is. Bsroiaadn 08:42, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

References
First Latino player?
[edit]Bill Guerin's mother is Nicaraguan, and he predated Gomez by nearly a decade. Gomez may be under the impression that he's the first given that he was quoted saying as much, but that doesn't appear to be the case. I'm removing the reference. --Jemiller226 (talk) 18:32, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
Goal drought
[edit]Feb 9, 2012 -- Scott Gomez scores a goal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.52.206.44 (talk) 04:57, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
VERY notable. Website, talk on many major sports sites and blogs, mentioned on HNIC leading into today's game. Time to leave it in, folks.99.245.37.46 (talk) 19:27, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

- And, wikipedia is not the news. Per WP:BRD we revert and discuss, not add and discuss. Dbrodbeck (talk) 18:04, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
- Who said anything about "the news"? I'm fine with the mention of his drought staying in, without the link to the external site.99.245.37.46 (talk) 18:50, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

I think it probably is a bit of undue weight at this point in time. A minor mention of it, like a single sentence could possibly be warranted. However, many people don't score for long periods of time so its fairly trivial. The page has been protected at the current version so as to stop the edit warring. Discuss the situation then whatever is decided can be implemented if it is different from the current version. -DJSasso (talk) 18:16, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
- A single sentence is all that was in place. I'm still waiting for reply as to why this doesn't belong. I reverted and discussed, then was reverted without discussion. 99.245.37.46 (talk) 18:44, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
- You also added a link that clearly violated WP:ELNO. As for the other bit, I still think it is a case of WP:RECENTISM . I am, of course, willing to go along with consensus on that one. Dbrodbeck (talk) 19:26, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
- I'd say that a sentence on his scoring drought is valuable - it is pretty much what has defined his last season, and once he finally does score, the sentence will be amended to state that he ended the drought. I don't think a mention of it is undue, though a full section or paragraph describing all the fan made websites, etc., would be. Resolute 19:54, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Fifth Alaskan in NHL?
[edit]The article claimed "Gomez was brought to New Jersey for the 1999–2000 NHL season, making him the fifth Alaskan to play in the NHL." Bleacher Report claims he was the first Alaskan, and ESPN says he's at least the first Alaska-born NHLer. I'm open to other interpretations; I believe there were a couple of players like the late B. J. Young (ice hockey) who signed with NHL teams before Gomez but didn't play until after. Or maybe we're counting transplants as long as they were here by a certain age. Without a citation though it's hard to confirm, so I've changed it for now. -- A. (talk) 18:05, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
