- Flibirigit, here are a couple more prompts: HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 04:07, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
- ALT1 ... that Ken McKenzie thought of the idea to establish a hockey newspaper while he serving in the Royal Canadian Air Force?
- ALT2 ... that Ken McKenzie recruited journalists for his hockey newspaper with the promise of country wide name recognition?
Here's another (HOS?4, I hope it's okay I added ALT#s to your suggestions, it's just so I could add one to mine):
- ALT3 ... that Ken McKenzie co-founded The Hockey News with less than CN$400 and sold most of his share for $4 million? —valereee (talk) 12:58, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
The article is neutral, meets the required length, and is sufficiently referenced. Article was 5x expanded within seven days of this nomination. QPQ is done. Hooks are interesting and sourced; I'm personally a fan of the main hook, but they're all equally appealing. Good to go! I definitely endorse this as a special occasion DYK, too. – Rhain ☔ 10:40, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
