We couldn't use "forward" and "right wing" because a right wing is a type of forward. Also, they are both centers (another type of forward).

Well, IMDB does it as [[Petr Sykora (I)]] and [[Petr Sykora (II))]]; their FAQ says that there's no hard and fast rule how they order them, but they try to use one or more of: who is most famous, who came first chronologically, or who is searched for more often. But in this case, why not say [[Petr Sykora (NHL forward)]] and [[Petr Sykora (NHL right wing]]?

I need some advice. What should I do when there are two people in the same category with the same name? For instance, if there were two
people
name Joe Blow and one was a soldier and one an author I could do something like this: Joe Blow (author)|]] and [[Joe Blow
(soldier)|]].
But what do I do if they are the same thing.
Here's a real world example, there are two ice hockey players named
Petr
Sykora. They are both Czech, both have played in the NHL and both are notable enough for an article. Do I make the most notable (he already has an article) [[Petr Sykora]] and the less notable [[Petr Sykora (2)]]? If not, how do I handle this? Thanks.

Do they have a middle name or initial?

You are sure they're different people, aren't you? :) How about using the names of their teams: [[Petr Sykora (Anaheim player)]] and [[Petr Sykora (Pardubice player)]] (I think)?

What if they change teams?
