Jean-Pierre Dumont
I removed the last sentence of the article since J-P Dumont has *not* been re-signed by the
Buffalo Sabres.
GMDarcy Reiger has stated he's given Dumont an offer but he's not been re-signed by the Sabres (as much as I'd like him to). Neither Yahoo!, TSN or the Sabres' official web site documents a Dumont signing by Buffalo, so whomever posted that sentence please give a source before putting it back. -

After a Feb 6th, 2007 win over the Atlanta Thrashers, Buffalo Sabres announcer Rick Jeanerette called DB "Cookie Monster'. It was homage to the location of DB's goals---'top shelf where momma hides the cookies'.
This section of Briere's entry is rather sparse; there's no mention of how he came to the Sabres, and I'm sure there is other information missing. I don't know a lot about Briere (just happened to come across this because I'm watching the Islanders/Flyers game), so maybe someone who knows more than I do could flesh this out a bit?

Winnipeg Jets
Has he ever actually played for the Winnipeg Jets or is this team just in the list as it was changed to the Phoenix Coyotes? If there is no answer I will remove the Jets from the list of teams he has played with. —Preceding

The YouTube video titled "Chris Phillips Drafted by the Ottawa Senators June 22, 1996" clearly shows Phoenix 11th on the draft board approximately 2:40 into the video. He was officially drafted as a Coyote. --

It seems that Danny's name is a huge issue on this page. I myself just tried moving it to "Danny Brière", and Wiki would not let me. Let me just say this... His public NHL name is Danny, just as Stefani Germanotta's public Hollywood name is Lady Gaga. Simple as that. Germanotta's page title is "Lady Gaga", just as Daniel Brière's page title should be "Danny Brière". It's not his "nick name". If you don't watch or follow Brière's career, you shouldn't be on this page. So whoever mentioned "nick names" is just clogging up space.reply
OFFICIAL scoresheets straight from the NHL website (Event Summaries, Faceoffs Reports, Time On-Ice Reports, Roster Reports, and Shot Reports - all the sheets that include players' first names) list him as either "DANNY BRIERE" or "BRIERE, DANNY". And again, let's not forget about how his name appears on his profile pages on flyers.nhl.com, nhl.com. hockey-reference.com, espn.com, sports.yahoo.com, and sports.yahoo.com/fantasy - all of those sites have it as "Danny" on not only his profile page, but also on the team roster list. #DannyNotDaniel — Preceding

An update: During an interview that aired on the Flyers broadcast prior to last night's Flyers/Canadiens game, Briere said he has gone back to Daniel because Danny is difficult to say in French (I have no idea if there is anything to that). It was also pointed out that he was known as Danny throughout his entire six seasons as a Flyer by his choice. --

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
He's also commonly called "Briere", and that's what it says on his jersey. However, I think we should avoid nicknames unless they're used almost exclusively, so I would prefer a move to
Daniel Briere.
PowersT16:57, 9 August 2011 (UTC)reply
Also, what would be the point in calling a person Briere if his name is Brière? You can't hear the spelling, can you? It's like a person by the name Neil was called Neal.

As a "compromise", it's plainly absurd, which is obvious just from looking at the letters on the back of any North American hockey player's jersey.
PowersT17:42, 9 August 2011 (UTC)reply
The diacritic isn't up for debate here. Whether this page should be moved to Danny Brière is. Stay on topic or go elsewhere if you want to debate diacritics in player articles. On topic, 1) He is more commonly referred to as Danny (Danny Briere has two million more google hits than Daniel Briere, see the section directly above this one) and the player prefers to be called Danny (his
NHL and
NHLPA profiles lists him as Danny, a clear sign that he prefers to be called Danny). --

Actually if you are going to use the NHL and NHLPA as sources to make a point, then the diacritic issue is on topic as both those official sources spell his name "Danny Briere." You can't have it both ways. Either those sources don't count or they do count... it's not a halfway thing where you use them for half his name.

I think you misunderstood me. I'm not saying to use diacritics or not. I'm saying that since those two links are not considered legitimate sources for the last name then they cannot be considered legitimate sources for the first name. We can't have it both ways... it's hypocritical. List other sources for "Danny" that use his diacritic name to be a valid argument. That's all I'm saying. I hope that's a bit clearer.
Fyunck(click) (

They cannot be considered legitimate sources on diacritics, since they have a more or less official policy of ignoring them. That means that they have ruled themselves out, with regard to that issue. In (most) other cases they can be considered legitimate sources. Finally: stick to the subject: Daniel or Danny.
HandsomeFella (

NHL and NHLPA are not legitamate in regards to any portion of his name. Give legitimate sources that shows that Danny Brière is more proper than Daniel Brière. That's what is needed. Goodness.

Actually, I don't have a strong opinion on whether it should be Daniel or Danny. I've just noted that he's called Danny in a lot of places, and so maybe that is where the article should be at here. Maybe I should have stated that earlier.

There are plenty of instances of a hockey player article being located at the nickname, like
Chico Resch and more fittingly in this instance,
Bobby Clarke or
Bobby Orr. They are more popularly known by those names and are thus located there. I think that policy is to avoid putting utterly inane nicknames like Bettsy for
Blair Betts or Cartsy for
Jeff Carter, locker room type nicknames that aren't widely used elsewhere, throughout the article. --

Oh, I don't disagree -- but if you're going to cite part of that page as inviolable, you have to give the same consideration to other parts of the page, too. If, on the other hand, you recognize that the nickname guidance is advisory only, then you have to grant that the diacritics guidance is likewise.
PowersT13:37, 11 August 2011 (UTC)reply
Yeah, it is. Because when I suggested removing them, you countered with a reason not to. That sounds like a discussion to me.
PowersT20:23, 11 August 2011 (UTC)reply
No, it shouldn't. Those guidelines say nothing about diacritics in personal names, while
WP:HOCKEY clearly states that diacritics should be kept on player pages. You've not learned anything, have you? That's why you still have a page move ban. Anyway, this is about whether it should be Daniel or Danny.

Oppose per common name of Daniel Brière. His nickname is Danny in Philly but outside Philly he is most commonly called Daniel. A quick search of google shows this to be true. -

A quick google search shows more hits for Danny Briere. If he were known as Danny just in Philly then why does NHL.com and NHLPA.com list him as Danny Briere? Add to that list ESPN, CBS, Yahoo, hockey-reference, legends of hockey, etc. --

A number of the sources you list actually use Daniel. His Yahoo profile for example. The NHL.com lists him as such as they get the info from how the team lists him. NHLPA I believe just mirrors the NHL.com profile essentially. Now of course its only personal experience but I have heard none of the major broadcast networks call him Danny Briere. CBC, TSN and XM Radio all call him Daniel any time I have heard them mention him. And they are just as valid as print sources. -
DJSasso (

His Yahoo profile lists him as
Danny Briere and that applies to the Canadian version of Yahoo sports as well (I thought that might be the problem but it wasn't). The sources I provided all say Danny so I don't know what you are seeing differently from me. -- It's the player that dictates what exactly he is called, not the team. For instance,
Nikolay Zherdev requested that his name be changed from Nikolai to Nikolay prior to last season and his NHL.com profile was changed immediately. With regard to Briere, when he was originally signed by the Flyers he was listed as
Daniel. A month later he was listed as
Danny, probably at his request. --
Here is NBC referring to him as Danny Briere. That said, I'm sure Ed Olczyk has referred to him as Daniel and Danny interchangeably and that's probably the case with Canadian media. --
Izzygood (

I'd say its close enough that at worst they are both used extensively and interchangeably. If that is the case it should be defaulting to the actual name. My mistake on the yahoo...it was a case of google tricking me when I told it to only show me pages with Daniel and not Danny and it still showed me the profile. -
