Comments:

Prose

• " He played four seasons of organized hockey, meanwhile, " I don't think meanwhile is necessary here, and can be deleted.
• "Several members of the Blackhawks'" I think this should be Blackhawks's, per MOS:'S
• "finishing 19 points behind the Colorado Avalanche in the race for the second Western Conference wild card spot," I'm not sure this is necessary in this bio article, and I think it can be removed as off-topic
• "By the time that the 2019–20 NHL season" -> "When the 2019–20 NHL season..."
• "After receiving a hit to the head during an exhibition game against the Vegas Golden Knights,[56] however, Schmaltz missed the entirety of the Coyotes' postseason run," -> "In an exhibition game against the Vegas Golden Knights, he received a hit to the head and missed the entirety of the Coyotes' postseason run" to tighten up the prose
• "record for the most in the Challenge," what does this mean? What is referred to with "Challenge"?
• The "Personal life" does not really talk about Schmaltz's personal life, but rather talks about his family's accomplishments. I'm not sure this section is needed. Is there any information on his relationship status, philanthropy work, or what he does during the off season?

I am going to put this on hold until the prose concerns are resolved. Please ping me when ready. Z1720 (talk) 01:13, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

A follow-up ping last week did not yield a response, so I am going to close this GAN. Once the above are addressed the nominator can re-nominate this article. Feel free to ping me when it is nominated again. Z1720 (talk) 16:55, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
