204:-- (1)IMO there is no need to state that it is 4 years after the league's founding (2) This would be better worded as 'In 1971, four years after the league's founding, the CAHA reorganized the top level of junior hockey into two tiers: the WHL was sanctioned as the top league in western Canada and as one of three leagues that formed the "Major-Junior" tier, the others being the Ontario Hockey Association (OHA) and Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL).'
219:-- (1) No need to word it as such since in the previous sentence its confirmed that they did play. Reword possibly to 'The Oil Kings defeated Quebec in an abbreviated championship, losing the best-of-3 series in two games.' (2)It should be explained as to what the best of 3 series means or how that process functions.

In 1971, four years after the league's founding, the CAHA reorganized the top level of junior hockey into two tiers, sanctioning the WHL as the top league in western Canada and one of three leagues, along with the
Ontario Hockey Association (OHA) and Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), to form

It is cited. The book references cover the entire paragraph. The statement about the crash attempts to set the tone for the team's victory three years later. The
Broncos' 1989 championship is virtually always tied in with the crash in the histories I have. I'll attempt to improve the connection
327:
Some excellent suggestions. I've changed all per your comments except for two: (1) I don't see a huge need for a tabled key to denote the use of bold text and the bracketed numbers, but I did move it to the top of the list. (2) There are no redundant links in the See also section that I could

find. Somewhat confusingly, both the QMHJL and WHL used to call their championship trophy the
President's Cup. The see also link refers to the QMJHL's trophy. I did remove the CHL awards link, however, as that is contained in the template. Thank you for the excellent review.

Chynoweth had served as president of both the WHL from 1972 and the CHL from 1975 until leaving both posts in 1995 to form the

A half-dozen years later, the 1981–82 Winter Hawks recorded numerous other firsts, becoming the first

The 1971 champion
Edmonton Oil Kings thus faced the Quebec Remparts in the 1972 Memorial Cup final, though it nearly failed to materialize as the OHA and QMJHL initially refused to face the western champion.
755:
I know it is named/linked in the lead, but for "The
Blazers dominated the WHL in ...", it sounds like it is a team that has already been introduced. I'd be tempted to use the full name (and possibly link).
731:"The community rallied around the team, ... etc.", firstly is this cited, secondly, meaning no disrespect to the victims of the crash, is the crash particularly relevent to the Ed Chynoweth Cup history?
706:
I began capitalizing it in the past after a FAC commenter thought I was introducing POV by calling a certain league "major", rather than stating that this was the level of hockey. Changed back.
255:-- This would be better worded as 'Chynoweth had served as president of both the WHL and CHL from 1972 and from 1975, respectively, until leaving both posts in 1995 to form the Edmonton Ice.'
650:
I guess "3–0–2" means 3 wins 0 losses 2 draws, otherwise it would be "3–2" if there were no draws, correct? You should make this explicit so idiots like me can figure out what is going on.
860:
The prose is very well written (frankly, I was a bit surprised that I couldn't even add a comma or anything like that anywhere), the refs and list look excellent as well.

769:"to cap seven championships in a nine year stretch for the WHL between 1987 and 1995", might be being thick but this seems a bit unclear.
