Talk:List of players who played only one game in the NHL

message: ----
The idea of this article is to prevent stubs from being created. There are well over 100 players in the NHL who have only played one game or only played in the playoffs and I feel that all those players don't deserve their own articles. So, I am creating this article so that the players will have their place on Wikipedia without having their own little stub. I will link all the player links to this article to get rid of red links as well. Be patient as this is a big project. Masterhatch 06:31, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

message: I have wikified all the DOBs. Can someone check-
*Bill "Red" Anderson: born 13 December 1912 
The given date was 12/13/1912, every other date was dd/mm/yyyy (or similar).
As this was in a differnet formt from the rest.
Also several have unknown DOBs  "?/?/?". Rich   Farmbrough 13:23, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I added Mikko Jokela, who has his own page for his SM-liiga accomplishments, and Martti Järventie. Although their single NHL games took place after 2000-01, it's highly unlikely either of them will ever play in North America again. Elrith 18:33, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

I wanted to get the opinion of others before I continued. --Ulf17 (talk) 13:38, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: For me it's ok... but I suggest you to use a sortable table and the  template for the players. --necronudist (talk) 13:44, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

text: Wow, this would look great. Quite an undertaking, but I'm sure you're up for it. :) Skudrafan1 (talk) 13:52, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

text: That is some fine work.  Good luck with the conversion.  I've been looking for a way to make the stats table look better at Calgary Flames draft history, and I think you've come up with a very good look. Resolute 15:49, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  How does this look? 

message: If you click some of these players they just direct you back to page which is just a very annoying thing to have. I think we should delete those players wiki page that redirects here.--Fire 55 (talk) 01:55, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It would be preferable to create articles instead, though yeah, a self-referential redirect is rather dumb.  If you see them, perhaps list them here, or create an article from them.  A decent stub can be made pretty easily from their hockeydb and legendsofhockey bios. Resolute 03:06, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: List

message: hockeyDB lists him as having played a game with the original Senators during the 1919-20 season, but NHL.com, Legends of Hockey, and Hockey-Reference do not list him at all. Even if such a player did in fact play in the NHL, there isn't enough info available to justify an article. --24.152.220.10 (talk) 23:00, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Likely he has another name in other sources. This happens often for players from that era. I will look further. -DJSasso (talk) 14:34, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: If he had another name, you would expect that other name to show up here and here. HockeyDB lists 12 players, one of which is Price, for the 1919-20 Senators and the others only list 11 players - Benedict, Boucher, Broadbent, Bruce, Cleghorn, Darragh, Denneny, Gerard, MacKell/McKell, Merrill, and Nighbor. Hockey Databank, one of the data sources listed for hockey-reference, refers to Price here as a "probable phantom." --24.152.220.10 (talk) 18:00, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah feel free to remove him if you want. My guess is he was a guy they randomly put in a uniform for a game due to emergency but who was probably not an actual player. If we can't verify him though he has to go. -DJSasso (talk) 13:25, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Under contract with an NHL team 

message: I think that this page should probably have some sort of inclusion criteria that omits active players or at least active players with a contract that would allow them to play NHL hockey easily in the foreseeable future. For example, Dalton Smith, an active AHL player on the Colorado Eagles is on this list. While there is no guarantee he plays another game in the NHL in the future, it would not be shocking to see him on Avs in the future at some point. TartarTorte 20:45, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. When I created this article many years ago, I had set a five-year minimum since last game played. At some point in time that was removed. Masterhatch (talk) 23:03, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
