I made this template page so that I would have an opportunity to actually test this template out 'in the field', so to speak, and see what the response would be. At the time of this comment, the template is only being used on the Columbus Blue Jackets's team article. You can see the differences between this template and the currently standard (but also unsanctioned) template by checking any other team articles (i.e. Detroit Red Wings, Carolina Hurricanes, etc.). This template was made with the intent to try and slim the infobox down, as well as remove unrequired information (Captains and Alternate Captains, Alternate Logo) while adding information that would be useful (Media Affiliates, Conference, Division, Titles).
Feedback is greatly appreciated, as well as any code changes that might benefit this template.-- Resident Lune 20:44, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
Suggestions.

In trying to merge the current season link into the template, I made three test templates which are located at User:Jeff3000/Sandbox1 (go down to see the other two). The last two are based on the football (soccer) infoboxes which I think are much cleaner. What do others think? Regards, -- Jeff3000 ( talk) 19:59, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
On January 29, 2007, there was a suggestion that the template be extended to support nicknames. Any opinions? Isaac Lin ( talk) 22:59, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
There is a discussion currently at WT:HOCKEY on merging the current season minibox into the team infobox. Please go there to comment. - DJSasso ( talk) 17:09, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
It's rather silly that
Winnipeg Jets,
Quebec Nordiques,
Kansas City Scouts,
Montreal Wanderers (!!) etc. all have the
File:Hockey current event.svg icon in their infoboxes. The current
parameter ought to be conditional, or perhaps remove the icon altogether for historical teams. —

in the image markup. Also, I see the utility in having a link to the list of seasons article, but that link should not be the first infobox item. The only reason it appears first for non-historic franchises makes sense: the reader will frequently want to navigate to the current season article. But for historic franchises, the icon usage and the link position both make no sense. —

I think it would be handy to have a link at the end of the infobox to link to each team's official website. I mean, I really don't see any reason why would shouldn't have this. Thoughts?

History field seems redundant in cases where there is no noteworthy changes in team's history (for example Tampa Bay Lightning). Does anyone oppose removing it in cases like that? -- Mika1h ( talk) 20:44, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
I was wondering what thoughts there were on adding a spot for former arenas like the NFL and MLB templates have. A possible solution would be to add it along with the current arena with years to designate how long they've been in that arena (again, like MLB and NFL). Num1dgen ( talk) 18:17, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
Hello, there is a discussion of city / location support (equivalent to this template) in which you might be interested, here: Template talk:Infobox MLB#City or Location support UW Dawgs ( talk) 21:09, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
Any thoughts on adding a wikilink for Avco World Trophy? It will only affect a few pages, but it makes sense for the sake of consistency as there are links for the Stanley Cup and Presidents' Trophy. Also, "Avco World Trophy" is the only team trophy/award not pluralized. Shouldn't it be "Avco World Trophies"? Regards, Rejectwater ( talk) 19:04, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
I am not exactly sure how to go about making this change, but teams don't win "Stanley Cups", as there is obviously only one Stanley Cup. Should say something along the lines of "Stanley Cup championships", or wins or titles, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HuskerPower ( talk • contribs) 03:09, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
I suggest removing conference titles, division titles, and Presidents Trophy's from the infobox.
Do we really need to have the local media in the infobox? This seems to violate MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE which states "exclude any unnecessary content", which this appears to be, since the media isn't actually part of the team. TrailBlzr ( talk) 17:05, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
