{{AFC comment|2=Sorry about the delay in responding.    I agree with your decline.  I think the initial articles on  Ice Stock Players should be on current world champs, GOAT, or someone with a mainstream media profile and the number of Ice Stock Players hopefully expanded, before we get to this athlete.
