2003 IIHF Junior World Cup
editAccording this McGill Alumni page on George Burnett, [1] his accomplishments include the 2003 Gold medal as Head Coach, Team Canada.
I cannot independently verify this with other sources such as the Hockey Canada database. The article at 2003 IIHF World U18 Championships has links to references confirming Marc Habscheid as the head coach. The article at 2003 U-18 Junior World Cup cites no sources to work with.

Article assessment
editHere are some of my thoughts on the article. Flibirigit (talk) 04:22, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
- Might be too many details for each season
- Information could be transferred to team articles Flibirigit (talk) 04:23, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
- Possibly take out playoff scores and shorten to wins/losses Flibirigit (talk) 18:01, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
- Article has no photos
- Search for a photo with an appropriate commons license Flibirigit (talk) 04:23, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
- Coaching style
- Does anyone have references that could describe a coaching style? Flibirigit (talk) 04:23, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
- Notable players
- Would it be worthwhile to make a small list of notable players, or leave in the prose? Flibirigit (talk) 04:23, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
- Coaching statistics
:Insert totals for National teams. Flibirigit (talk) 18:01, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
- Scores are incomplete. Not practical to list more than the end result of event. Flibirigit (talk) 23:40, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
- You kind of already addressed most of what I immediately thought. I'd consider dropping the subheadings for each individual year, and just combing them into the respective team subheadings; that level of division is a little excessive. May be good to limit the playoff scores and so on as well, yes. I wouldn't bother with so much details on the player results for each season; that is more relevant for the respective players and/or teams, not Burnett himself. For notable players, it could maybe be something to add in its own section, like players he coached drafted, but it could also be left out. And for myself personally, I'm not fond of overusing sites like hockeydb or eliteprospects for references for things, but that is more a personal preference thing and not really a detriment. Otherwise it's not a bad article, quite impressive for a junior/minor league coach. Kaiser matias (talk) 00:51, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
- It's nice to know we were thinking along the same lines of trimming it down a bit. I will work on it next week. Cheers! Flibirigit (talk) 05:47, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
