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 am a two-time Stanley Cup champion (1907 & 1915)
2. I played on different teams for each of my cup victories. (Kenora Thistles in 1907 and
Vancouver Millionaires in 1915)
3. I played two different positions during my career. (Rover and Defense)
4. One of my cup wins was against Montreal. (1907 versus the Montreal Wanderers)
5. My other cup win was against Ottawa. (1915 versus the Ottawa Senators)
6. I am a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame. (Elected in 1950)
7. Following my retirement I worked in the media. (Managing director of the Vancouver Sun newspaper)
8. I died shortly after my Hockey Hall of Fame induction. (He died on July 9th, 1950, two weeks following his induction into the hall of fame).
Who Am I? I’m…Si Griffis!!!
Now for another kick at the can! Here is your next set of eight clues to a current or former hockey personality, be they player, coach, executive or…whatever. Do your best with the info you have and post your best guess in the comments. As I always say, though: it’s one thing to leave an answer but it’s a whole other story to do it while elaborating on the clues!
Give it your best folks! Looking forward to seeing your guesses…
1. I was not drafted by an NHL team.
2. I led my team in +/- during my rookie season.
3. I played college hockey in the US.
4. I was traded four times in a 12 month period.
5. I have played for three different professional leagues in North America.
6. I was a top ranked athlete in a sport other than hockey in my home country.
7. I was once a teammate of the son of an NHL GM who signed me.
8. I was traded to one NHL team that I never played a game for.
Good luck with this one folks! Hope the trade deadline treated you all well!
