Sources for hockey players' weight

Unfortunately, I don't know of any sites off the top of my head that provide yearly player weights for any sport. The major stat sites (league, Sports Reference, IHDB for the NHL) only give one figure for height and weight. I tried looking on Google for any articles that discussed Gretzky's playing weight, but came up empty. If you have access to a library, you could try seeing if they have hockey yearbooks or previews from when Gretzky played; those should have player rosters with height and weight figures. It becomes rather difficult to source from a bunch of publications instead of one or two central sources, though. Sorry I can't be of more help. Giants2008 ( Talk) 20:24, 1 January 2014 (UTC) reply

I've read your article - good job taking the time putting it together. There is a bit of a problem with the language. The way it's written sounds more like what would be appropriate for a magazine than an encyclopedia. Many of the sections speak overly positively for encyclopedia-voice. "A North American master" for example. The entire objectives section as well. And the section above that reads like a how-to.--v/r - T P 21:39, 14 May 2014 (UTC) reply

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Yin yoga you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.
