Talk:Oxford University Ice Hockey Club

message: There are 2 teams with similar names in the BUIHA, the Oxford Blues (http://www.buiha.org.uk/club.php?club=32) and the Oxford University Blues (http://www.buiha.org.uk/club.php?club=5#). The title of this page is Oxford University Ice Hockey Club and therefore should clearly be about the later.

Hi Donners18,
I just wanted to give a little explanation on why I undid your edits:
Line 1: 
I was going on the official team name on the league website listing here. I've added a reference now so it's clear where this name comes from. 
Line 8:
According to the league website listing this team only plays in division 1? Could you explain?
Line 16: 
For the captain's name I was going on their website, for example this page.
Again I've added a reference so it's clear where that comes from. Could you explain why you deleted this?
For the website, the link you provided doesn't seem to have any information on this team. According to the league website listing the official website is this page. Again I've referenced that now for clarity. Could you explain why you edited this?
Line 43: 
As shown by the reference, I got the 2014 playoff information from the British Universities Ice Hockey Association wikipedia listing. Could you explain why you removed this information given it was referenced?
Line 57: As for Line 8 above.
Thanks!

message: Dear 81.110.86.30,
I just wanted to explain why I have undone your latest edit. This page is about the history of the Oxford Blues ice hockey team. The links and information you have posted appear to be about a different team, the Oxford University Blues.  According to the  British Universities Ice Hockey Association, the Oxford University Blues used to be called the Oxford Vikings. Their website states: "The Oxford University Blues (formerly Vikings) look to be holding their own and having knocked off the Panthers I think they will be mid table boys, which is not bad for their first season." 
Before you edit the page again, please could you explain how the links and information you are posting relate to the history of the Oxford Blues team?
Finally please add talk page edits at the bottom of the talk page and also please sign your posts.
Thanks!

message: Dear 81.110.86.30,
Thank you for that link. I can see there is a Vikings team, but this must be a new team, since according to the information I provided from the British Universities Ice Hockey Association, the Oxford University Blues were formerly called the Vikings, and had their first season last year. If this is correct, then they are a different team to the historic Oxford Blues team, which is the subject of this article. 
If you disagree with this, can you please explain how the British Universities Ice Hockey Association information is wrong? As I understand it the British Universities Ice Hockey Association information are part of the the English Ice Hockey Association, which is subordinate to Ice Hockey UK which is part of the International Ice Hockey Federation the worldwide governing body for ice hockey. So it seems reasonable to assume the information they have published is correct. If so, the only way there can be both an Oxford Vikings team and an Oxford University Blues team is if the Vikings are a new team.
I noticed you also deleted a reference to a published article by the International University Sports Federation, the worldwide governing body for student sport. Please could you explain why you deleted a referenced article from a reliable source such as this?
Before you edit the page again please could you also offer some explanation for the above, and therefore how the information and links you have added relate to the historic team that is the subject of this article?
Thanks!

message: It seems pretty clear that there are two teams, that both are linked historically to OUIHC,
and that both studiously avoid mentioning each other on their respective web sites.
* http://oxforduniversityicehockey.com (cf. http://www.buiha.org.uk/club.php?club=5)
* http://oxfordicehockey.com (cf. http://www.buiha.org.uk/club.php?club=31)
Evidently there was some kind of split, perhaps between the then first team and second team.
* http://www.cherwell.org/2013/05/09/ice-hockey-players-denied-blues-status/
Oxford Blues is linked to the Oxford Canadians ("the first Team Canada"); Oxford University Blues is linked to the Women's Blues team.
Given the shared heritage, this article seems to be an ideal place to clarify the situation.
In particular, there appear to be two (men's) Varsity matches this year (2016), the 96th in March (Oxford Blues) and the 98th in May (Oxford University Blues). Cambridge [University] Blues lists both matches as Varsity matches, but what happened to the 97th?
