Harry Trihey
[edit]- ... that Harry Trihey set the record for the most goals in a regular season major professional hockey match over a hundred years ago?

Length, date are good. Two most-used online refs checked for paraphrasing, some minor clauses repeated, but good on that front. I'm not sure about the hook fact though, the ref states "including a remarkable 10 in one match against Quebec on February 4, 1899. This remained a regular-season record among leagues that competed for the Stanley Cup and was only eclipsed by Frank McGee's 14 in the well-known Stanley Cup challenge game in 1905." It's not clear to me that this means McGee's record doesn't replace Trihey's. I assume that the McGee game was not considered a regular season game? (the "challenge" was some sort of playoff?)

- Trihey's record was in a regular season match. McGee's was in a Stanley Cup playoff game, although in the so-called "challenge" era of hockey they didn't use the term "playoffs." Ravenswing 03:25, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
Sounds good, just wanted to get some clarification on that before passing. Good article, good use of images/strong layout as well. The Interior (Talk) 13:52, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
