The text in this article seems suspicously as though it may be copied from elsewhere, although google doesn't offer much beyond this: [1] a post on a forum that suggests much of the same content comes from a book originally published in the 60s, of which no online versions exist that I can find. (the book is indeed listed as an offline reference, so there's that.) Wondering if anyone with access to that volume can confirm. At any rate, the prose is way too florid for wikipedia anyway, and some cleanup and proper sourcing in order. Echoedmyron (talk) 22:58, 9 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
I do, very happily, own Coleman's seminal The Trail of the Stanley Cup, and McKenney's short bio in the third volume (the cited second volume in fact covers a period before McKenney's career) isn't what that forum post attributes, not remotely. In any event, I agree that the article is a bloody mess -- probably why I have it on a watchlist -- and I'll do some hacking at what is, after all, a BLP.
