And we’re back with another test of your hockey knowledge with “Who Am I?”!
You guys have been way too good at these in the past, so it’s getting extra tough now! The deal remains the same though: You get these 10 facts about an individual in the game of hockey, past or present, and have to identify the person the clues are referring to. Post your answers in the comments, and I will post the answer in the next edition questions.
Some of the clues are specific, some vague, some a little sneaky! Regardless, I know you’ll do them justice! Here you go!!!
1. I was the first player from my home country to play for this original six franchise.
2. I played for a second original six franchise during my career, traded there after being put on, and not claimed off, waivers.
3. I played for the same GM on two different teams.
4. On the team I played the majority of my NHL games, I was an award winning player at my position for four seasons.
5. I played for two relocated NHL franchises.
6. I was a third round draft pick.
7. I was a member of the team that captured the first hockey medal in international competition for my country.
8. I played in one Stanley Cup final.
9. Of the four times I changed teams, only once was the move not due to a trade.
10. I am a part owner in a professional hockey team.
Fire away with the answers folks and rather than just throwing names out there lets "show our work" and provide some answers to these questions so we can see how you got there!
