The second sentence doesn't really need two references. You could use Elite Prospects as one reference for both. This can also be applied to the birthday referenced in the early life section and the final sentence of the second paragraph
Done for the second sentence and birthday, Not done for the final sentence of the second paragraph, because a fine single source is already there
The first sentence of the third paragraph is too long
The sentence mentioning his fever is too long. You can put a period after it was difficult for Frederic to find his way back into the lineup
Done and slightly reworded.
Maybe mention he was protected by the Bruins in the Seattle expansion draft
[1]
Done.
International play
where the US team thrashed the Czech Republic 9–3. IDK if the use of thrash is neutral. I also think it is a bit odd to use thrash to describe a 9–3 win as opposed to a 12–1 win.
Reworded.
Awards and honors
The third row (after year) should be titled Ref
Done. Sometimes other people remove this one /shrug

Everything checks out, and ALT1 (and ALT2) is approved. I was able to access the source. I cannot approve ALT0 because Frederic mentions a "roller rink type deal" not a roller rink tout court. But I also think ALT1 is better, although I created ALT2 so that it reads more smoothly.
