The Sporcle quiz thread

[Sinter Klaas]

This is a very easy quiz (Hockey 101) hence the title name, but I am looking for constructive criticism. Much appreciated.

This thread is such a time sponge, I'm pretty sure I was supposed to be doing something useful the last two hours.

Here's one with players who usually don't feature in quizzes:

NHL Lowest Points Per Game (1000 GP minimum)

I did similar quiz last year, and again honoring upcoming Stanley Cup Final, players who have represented both teams:

Got 100% based on "Well, nothing else is even remotely close so I guess I'll choose this one" type of reasoning, but there's a couple questions that are blatantly wrong (like saying the goalie can play the puck in the trapezoid) or ambiguous.

Daneyko
Luke Richardson
Chris Phillips
Adrian Aucoin
Regehr

Lots of these are incorrect

Foote was the first name to pop into my head. Great defendivelt but had no offence to his game.

Trapezoid one is wrong. Pretty easy otherwise.

This is one I made a while ago. Not a typical quiz, it's meant to be a pain in the ass that requires googling and stuff.

Here's one for ya folks: Name the 6 players whose jerseys have been retired by more than one club.

Enjoy, or cheat & be anti-fun for everyone.

Patrick Roy ( Avs /Habs )
Raymond Bourque ( Avs /Bruins )

Patrick Roy ( Avs /Habs )
Raymond Bourque ( Avs /Bruins )

2 outta 6, 4 left to go. Hint for the next easy one, he's great.

Roy and Bourque were already listed.

Gretzky with the Oilers and Kings specifically, and the NHL as a whole.

Messier with the Oilers and Rangers.

Gordie Howe with the Red Wings and Whalers (Hurricanes only kept his number retired when they moved).

Bobby Hull with Blackhawks and Coyotes (they kept all their retired jerseys; Brett wore 9 for the few games he played in Phoenix though).

For the record I did not look it up; otherwise I'd have the exact number of games Brett Hull played as a Coyote (which was 5).

Damn, this thread might keep me busy for awhile.
I've played A LOT of hockey quizzes on sporcle, but I know theres a few that I saw in this thread I definitely had not heard of.
Gonna try a couple of them now I think.

I heard someone was trying to work, study or do something else useful so time to bump this thread.

Also, inspired by this season's top-end rookie talent:

NHL Single Season Scoring by 18-year-olds

 

[PepperKeenan]

Who is A3??

Jake Virtanen. Also got stuck on that one, had to do the quiz twice to get it.

 

[Sinter Klaas]

Over/Under Quizzes are fun:

Over/Under: NHL

Hockey related, but also other sports, where each franchise started:

Sports Franchise Starting Points

If you appreciate any of them, click the nominate button at the bottom of the quiz



Also, last I heard the NHL curatorship was open at Sporcle, meaning if you got time on your hands, you can help siphon through certain quizzes and highlight the worthy ones.

 

[Sinter Klaas]

Here is a link to the page that lets anyone apply for the open NHL curatorship on Sporcle. Basically a curator sifts through NHL quizzes and selects one every couple of days that is worthy of play. Notice there has not been a true NHL quiz selected in over a month. Just scroll down the page a little and look on the right hand side for it.

Apply to be a Sporcle curator


I think there are several good candidates on this board.

30 hockey players by hint.

http://www.sporcle.com/games/Bleu/hockeyplayershint

This was a great quiz. Got 25/30, but can't believe I did not remember the Turgeon brothers. I had the Sedins in my head the whole time.

Good stuff!
