The result was keep. WP:NHOCKEY is relevant when it is the only source of notability, which is not the case here.

Delete As has been mentioned a number of times in Afds over the last few months as well as on the hockey project. Scholastic awards do not fall into the major award category. Fails

Keep There may be debate as to whether or not the
Ivan Tennant Memorial Award is one of the major awards given annually by the
OHL (I personally think it is), but Hamilton has demonstrated his notability in other ways. He was the first ever draft pick in Niagara IceDogs history; he played at the
2010 IIHF World U18 Championships where he was named as a top player for Team Canada; and he has also generated more than just routine sports coverage with articles such as
this,
this,
this, and
this, which is more than enough to pass
WP:GNG.

Keep passes
WP:GNG based on sources found by Dolovis, especially the first and last. Just for the record, I don't think either the
Ivan Tennant Memorial Award nor being named as Canada's best player at the IIHF U18, would qualify him as notable, but again, he passes GNG, so that's all moot.

Weak Delete: Err ... the notion that a "top academic player" award = preeminent honor is well to the left of farcical. It's not remotely so, and claiming otherwise is close to pointy; one wonders if there are ANY awards given out by the league which Dolovis does not consider to be "major." That being said, I'm not entirely convinced by the sources, either; the local newspaper source is a relatively routine interview that's half about other matters, and the other sources the moral equivalent of blogs. I'd like to see one or two more print sources which describe the subject in "substantial detail."
