Nickname(s)[edit]

Teammate Alex Ovechkin refers to him as "Holts" in a post-game interview November 19, 2018.^[1]Artaxerxes 15:27, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

That is hypocoristic and not a nickname. Basically just a shortening of his name. -DJSasso (talk) 00:02, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Current status / potential retirement / "former" goaltender[edit]

As of July 12, 2022, there is a very strong likelihood that Holtby might not play hockey again. However, this is not confirmed as of right now, and likely won't be for a while. We should not refer to him in the past tense. Until he makes it official, he is not a "former" goaltender yet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:643:8080:F200:999A:4941:DE89:829D (talk) 03:15, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
