Talk:Curtis Gedig

Edit request from article subject (COI)

Hello. I am Curtis Gedig, the subject of this article, so I have a conflict of interest and am not editing the article directly. I'd like to request the following updates, all supported by the sources listed. Please feel free to adjust wording for tone and neutrality.

1. Lead sentence is out of date. The article describes me as "currently playing with the Kassel Huskies in second-tier DEL2." I have since retired from professional hockey and now work in real estate. Suggested replacement for the opening sentence:

Curtis Gedig (born September 14, 1991) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey defenceman. He was selected 204th overall by the New Jersey Devils in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, won the 2010 RBC Cup with the Vernon Vipers, and played NCAA Division I hockey at Ohio State University before a professional career in North America and Europe. He now works as a real estate agent in Kelowna, British Columbia.

2. Add the 2010 RBC Cup win (currently missing). During my time with the Vernon Vipers I won the 2010 RBC Cup, Canada's national Junior A championship. Suggested sentence to add to the junior/BCHL paragraph:

With the Vernon Vipers, Gedig won the 2010 RBC Cup, Canada's national Junior A hockey championship.

3. Add the BC Hockey Hall of Fame induction. The 2010 Vernon Vipers team is being inducted into the BC Hockey Hall of Fame on July 11, 2026. Suggested sentence:

The 2010 Vernon Vipers championship team, of which Gedig was a member, is scheduled to be inducted into the BC Hockey Hall of Fame on July 11, 2026.

4. Add a short post-playing section. Suggested new section near the end:

== Post-playing career ==

After retiring from professional hockey, Gedig became a licensed real estate agent in British Columbia with Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty in Kelowna, serving the Central Okanagan including Kelowna, West Kelowna, Lake Country and Peachland.

 Clarification requested

• The article's lead sentence currently states the subject is Canadian-German, but the suggested lead sentence carries only one half of that equation. Please advise.
• He now works as a real estate agent per MOS:RELTIME we prefer "As of [insert date]"
• Your proposed text is missing key H:WIKILINKs for the following terms:

1. New Jersey Devils
2. 2010 RBC Cup (probably not what it's under as)
3. NCAA Division I hockey
4. British Columbia
5. BC Hockey Hall of Fame
6. Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty (if that has one – if not, then leave its mentioning out)
7. Central Okanagan

• These WikiLinks need to be provided before your text can be implemented. As Wikipedia is a volunteer project, this type of formatting is generally expected to have been completed before your request was submitted for review.
• When ready to proceed with the requested information, kindly change the {{Edit COI}} template's answer parameter to read from |ans=y to |ans=n. Thank you!

Thank you, Spintendo. Responses below, with the requested wikilinks added.

• Nationality: Canadian-German is correct (I hold dual Canadian and German citizenship), so the lead should retain "Canadian-German".
• MOS:RELTIME: Agreed, changed to "As of 2026".
• Wikilinks: added throughout (see revised text below). Two of the requested terms have no article: the BC Hockey Hall of Fame has no Wikipedia article, so it is left unlinked; and Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty (the local brokerage) has none, so I have linked the parent company Coldwell Banker instead. Please adjust if you would prefer it left unlinked.

1. Revised lead sentence:

Curtis Gedig (born September 14, 1991) is a Canadian-German former professional ice hockey defenceman. He was selected 204th overall by the New Jersey Devils in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, won the 2010 RBC Cup with the Vernon Vipers, and played NCAA Division I hockey at Ohio State University before a professional career in North America and Europe. As of 2026, he works as a real estate agent in Kelowna, British Columbia.

2. RBC Cup sentence (add to the junior/BCHL paragraph):

With the Vernon Vipers, Gedig won the 2010 RBC Cup, Canada's national Junior A hockey championship.

3. Hall of Fame sentence:

The 2010 Vernon Vipers championship team, of which Gedig was a member, is scheduled to be inducted into the BC Hockey Hall of Fame on July 11, 2026.

4. Post-playing section:

== Post-playing career ==

After retiring from professional hockey, Gedig became a licensed real estate agent in British Columbia with Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty in Kelowna, serving the Central Okanagan including Kelowna, West Kelowna, Lake Country and Peachland.

I have changed the {{Edit COI}} template's answer parameter to |ans=n. Thank you for the review. Curtisgedig (talk) 15:25, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
