Yannick Tifu
Canadian ice hockey player
Yannick Tifu (born October 12, 1984) is a Canadian professional ice hockey Centre who currently plays for the Saint-Georges Cool FM 103.5 of the Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey. Tifu is described as an agitator with scoring prowess.
Playing career
Prior to turning professional, Tifu played major junior hockey in the QMJHL with the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies.
Undrafted on August 14, 2008, the Dayton Bombers traded Tifu to the Florida Everblades for Jarret Lukin, Steve Czech, Mike McLean, and future considerations. After completion of his second season with the Elmira Jackals which included loan stints in the American Hockey League with the Binghamton Senators, Tifu signed as a free agent with the inaugural Chicago Express of the ECHL on October 7, 2011, despite considerable interest from Jackals rivals, the Reading Royals.
In the 2011–12 season, on November 28, 2011, and after only 17 games with the Express, Tifu was traded to the Reading Royals in exchange for Chad Painchaud. Tifu immediately established himself within the Royals and by March 2012, was selected as team Captain. He finished the season leading the team with 59 points in just 52 games before suffering a first round defeat.
Tifu was extended by the Royals to continue as captain in the 2012–13 season. He appeared as the only player to partake in every game for the Royals throughout the season, used as the team's primary offensive center.

Why this record matters
The phrase “canadian ice hockey player” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3571808. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1984, 2008, 2011 and 2012.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
