Happy Monday folks!
It seems like one-a-year-at-Christmas seems to be the frequency of this guy these days, but a little over 7 years after the first one, this is number 25! There have been 255 normal questions, several "special Editions", two general knowledge tournaments, and a couple of "guest hosts". Let make that 265...
The rules:
Below are ten trivia questions. Each question has multiple answers, and are easy enough that even the casual hockey fan should be able to get at least one of the answers. Here's the trick - your goal is to choose the correct answer you think the least other people will know.
Correct Answers are worth one point for every player who answered it, so if nine other people answered the same as you did, you'd get ten points. If you're the only one who used that answer, you get one point. An incorrect answer is worth the most popular correct answer for that question, plus 5 points.
You may choose to pass on one question. Mark that question "PASS", and that question scores 0. If you do not use your pass, I'll drop your highest scoring correct answer.
Scores for each question are added together, and low score wins. Please no outside sources.
Answers should be submitted to me by PM. I'll accept entries until I have 20, or until December 26th @11:59:59 PM, whichever comes LAST. (i.e. if we have 20 or more by the 26th I'll cut it off and start scoring. If not, it'll stay open until we get to 20). To encourage getting your entry in early, the first tiebreaker will be the time of receipt of a complete entry. The earlier you get your entry in, the higher your tie-break priority.
A friendly reminder that it is much easier on me if you do not include the questions with your entry. A PM Subject including the phrase "TWaT XXV Entry" helps too.
The Questions:
1) Name a player who was drafted by the Halifax Mooseheads in the QMJHL Draft who has played at least one regular season NHL game. Regular Q-Draft only, not import.
2) Considering the cap hit according to CapFriendly, name one of the ten NHLers with the lowest Cost per Point for the 2016-17 Regular Season.
3) According to USA Hockey's 2016-17 annual report, 10 states boasted registrations of 15,000 members or greater. Name one.
4) Canada has won the last four Olympic Gold Medals in Women's Ice Hockey. Name a woman who has played on at least three of those teams.
5)Name an NHL Team who has made the playoffs each of the past three seasons.
6) Name a WHL team who averaged fewer than 5,000 fans per game last season.
7) Name player selected by the Vegas Golden Knights in the Expansion Draft.
8) Name a nickname shared by an NHL team, and an EIHL team (Elite Ice Hockey League, Great Britain's top league).
9) Name a goaltender selected with a top ten pick in the NHL draft since 1980.
10) Name a current NHL team who has never drafted a member of the Halifax Mooseheads in the Entry Draft. They must have been a member of the Mooseheads at the time they were drafted; e.g. Joe Dipenta was a Moosehead, but was still with Boston University when drafted, so he wouldn't be considered as "drafted from the Mooseheads"
Good luck!
