20-Mule Team Delete: If the MMA federation for which he fought his only bout isn't notable enough to have its own article, that certainly confers no notability to the subject. Given that the subject only played 50 organized hockey matches, the notion that he's "best known for being an enforcer while playing for the Windsor Spitfires" is ludicrous -- I rather doubt that anyone in hockey remembers the subject at all. Especially since the article was created four years ago, long before the MMA bout, I have such serious doubt about the competence of the creator that it'd be worth it to review his new article creation history.

I wouldn't say people don't remember him. The video of him chasing that poor little guy around the ice was pretty memorable. I can even remember them interviewing Golicic's horrified mother about the league she had allowed her son to play in. That being said, one stupid decision does not confer notability.

Delete Memorable to hockey fans, but not notable. The event should be covered on the OHL's page for the season, or possibly in an article about violent instances in hockey. Kugel himself is not notable. Canada Hky (talk) 16:40, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, as per Canada Hky. Even that one brief moment of stupidity has faded. Reso lute 04:20, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Do something, but don't delete I remember the incident in 1998 distinctly. It garnered quite a bit of attention, not just locally, but nationally, as well ("violence in hockey" stories, ect., ect.). I'm sure if someone were to look through old news stories from that era, plenty of sources could be found. With that said, given the rest of his career (or lack thereof), it does come pretty close to being a BLP1E. Perhaps a merge to 1998–99 OHL season could be in order?

The incident is pertinent to the season article, but it's still very much a BLP1E. Ravenswing 19:21, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
