Bennett was a hockey player who once was thought to had promise, but it never panned out. Hockey is a bit hard to navigate for those of us used to Gridiron football, where when they draft you it means you are going on their team. In the NFL drafting means they are using you as back stock, so it is common to draft someone and then have them go to college. That is what happened here. The coverage of his career at Boston was routine. The coveage of his leaving Boston was routine. The coverage of his career at the University of Wisconsin was not even that. I checked, but the article seems to be right in identifying when he last played a public hockey game. He was a college sportsman who does not meet any of the inclusion requirements for college sportsmen. John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:07, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The nominator makes a very good case, and I would like to thank him for letting us know the difference between hockey and football in this respect, as otherwise I might have !voted keep based on the draft. Fieari (talk) 04:52, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
