Category talk:Hockey clubs

Merge with "teams" category?
If the words "club" and "team" are used indifferently, surely there's no reason to have both Category:Hockey clubs and Category:Ice hockey teams? You could move the one "clubs" subcategory to the teams category, then use Wikipedia:template:category redirect to tell people where it has gone and to indicate that they should not add anything else to "clubs".

But should the two be used indifferently? Surely a club can be bigger than a single team and can field several teams, possibly in different grades or even leagues? (Sorry if that's not possible in ice hockey; it is possible in other sports.)

 * Very right, a club and a team are not eactly the same thing, and just like in many other sports, hockey clubs do ice several teams in various grades and/or leagues; this is especially true in Europe, whereas the North American system is different in that regard. The resulting dual categories is more an indication of a lack of uniformisation within this wiki than anything else, to be honest. There will be further work to achieve a perfect uniformisation in the coming days, as I'l be having a few ones off. Thanks for pointing this out. Yannzgob 20:16, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
