Is Pinball's "meeting" with a Police officer this week wiki worthy material for this page? It definitely is something that will be remembered. User:Stettlerj

[edit] Pinball Isn't Canadian Yet!
I actually met up with Pinball Clemons during Training camp this year, and asked him if he got his citizenship yet. He told me that he hasn't ... and that with his busy schedule, it'll likely be a while before he actually gets it. He is still just a Permanent Resident of Canada ... a status that he got around the turn of the century. That said, I'm removing the American Canadian category for Pinball!

- Well, the Category isn't defined as citizens of American ancestry or birth, rather it can be defined as people who call themselves Canadians (or) have Canadian citizenship. The article clearly states Pinball calls himself Canadian. --

- In looking over the definition provided in the "Category:American Canadians" section, it only uses the term "Canadian people (individuals)" as its definition. IMO, one is a (insert country name here)ian/ese/ish person either through citizenship (by birth or naturalization) or ethnic ancestry. As much as I love and admire this great man, I'd only go so far as to call him a Canadian immigrant or Permanent Resident to Canada ... but not so far as to call him Canadian. (You can guess the frustration I felt with some of the inclusions for The Greatest Canadian contest ... but I digress ;) )Amchow78 08:19, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
- The Canadian American category (as opposed to the American Canadian category we are discussing) mentions people who call themselves Canadian Americans as a description. I'd say the same should apply here as well. -- Earl Andrew - talk 06:46, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Coach timeline
In the opening paragraph, it says that Pinball retired to become head coach in December 2002, but further down, it says that this happened in September 2000. It's unclear whether he was interim head coach from September 2000 until December 2002, or if one or more of the dates are wrong. Can someone who knows which is correct fix the article? It would be good to add a reference as well, if possible. --MrBoo (talk, contribs) 20:56, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
