We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Rogers Arena — The entry says the Vancouver Warriors replaced the Vancouver Stealth, but the Stealth had already relocated to San Jose in 2017, and the Warriors joined as an expansion team in 2019, not as a direct replacement.
Stan Smyl — Smyl was not team captain during the late-1970s and early-1980s era; Kevin McCarthy was captain from 1979 to 1982.
Stan Smyl — Smyl was not the team captain behind Richard Brodeur during the 1981–82 season; he became captain in the 1982–83 season.
