And we’re back with another test of your hockey knowledge with “Who Am I?”! Last week was challenging for people, something I hope continues this week!
Before we get to this week’s challenge, though, let’s take a look at the info from last time:
1. I’m a two-time Olympic gold medal winner. (2006 & 2010 Winter Olympics)
2. My grandfather was a three time Stanley Cup champion. (Syl Apps with the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1942, 1947 & 1948)
3. My father played in the NHL but did not win a Stanley Cup. (Syl Apps Jr)
4. I played four seasons of US College Hockey. (2002-2005 & 2006-07 at Dartmouth College)
5. I’m a two-time gold medal and four-time silver medal winner in the IIHF World Championships (Gold in 2004 & 2007, Silver in 2005, 2008, 2009 and 2011).
6. I was a one-time player of the year award winner in college. (2007)
7. I have a family member in the hockey hall of fame. (Syl Apps, elected in 1961)
8. I have competed in a Cup finals but did not win. (Clarkson Cup 2011)
Who Am I? I’m…Gillian Apps!
Congrats to the two folks who got last week’s! Now do your best on this bad boy!!! Post your answers in the comments, and please provide some rationale for you choice in the form of answers to the now eight clues (I tried five and it was too few. Have used 10 for ages and it was too many. We’ll see how eight works!)
Best of luck folks!
1. I am a two-time Stanley Cup champion.
2. I played on different teams for each of my cup victories.
3. I played two different positions during my career.
4. One of my cup wins was against Montreal.
5. My other cup win was against Ottawa.
6. I am a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame.
7. Following my retirement I worked in the media.
8. I died shortly after my Hockey Hall of Fame induction.
Give it your best folks! Looking forward to seeing your guesses…
