::Wikipedia works by using popular media and reliable sources. Almost every single hockey source out there in the English speaking world drops the foreign characters. Until that changes, i see no reason why wikipedia should go against the main stream usage. Wikipedia isn't here to "correct" things, but to show things how they are in modern, everyday English.  
 ::"Under your standards, if I could find enough English-language books that say Governor Schwarzenegger is a six-foot reptile in disguise, I should start fighting to get the article changed to call him a reptile." If enough reliable sources said that, then the article about him should reflect that.  
 ::"If you think it's vandalism, then report me." you are the one that called my edits "rvv"
