I'm glad to see your work here. As per the above checklist, I do have some insights that I think will be useful in improving the article:

  • I think the sentence "Pronovost worked for the NHL Central Scouting Bureau for five years until 1990, when he was hired as a scout for the New Jersey Devils, with whom he has been a member of three Stanley Cup championships, most recently in 2003." can be broken into simpler sentences to make it easier to follow.
  • I think the sentence "The 53-year span between his first championship and the most recent is a Stanley Cup record." can be more clear.


Besides that, I think the article looks excellent. Resolute, please feel free to strike out any recommendation you think will not help in improving the article. All the best,
