And we’re back with another test of your hockey knowledge with “Who Am I?”! The last edition was the most challenging yet for people, and while this week’s may not be quite as tricky, I hold out hope that it is not a cakewalk either!!!
Before we get to this week’s challenge, though, let’s take a look at the info from last time:
1. I played for three NHL teams, all of them 1967 expansion franchises. (Philadelphia, Minnesota and Los Angeles)
2. I am a hockey hall of fame member. (Inducted to the Finnish Hockey Hall of Fame in 1997)
3. My first NHL goal very unique. (Scored on a penalty shot)
4. I am currently employed by a NHL team. (European scout with the Flyers)
5. While all of the franchises I have played for have won cups in their history, I never did, despite playing in two cup finals. (1985 and 1987 with the Flyers. NOTE: While the North Stars TEAM did not win the cup, the franchise did upon relocating to Dallas)
Who Am I? I’m…….Ilkka Sinisalo!!!
Now for the newest installment which I hope is comporable to the last one, but in reality think might be slightly more forgiving!!! Give it a go, post your answers in the comment section and back up your answer please.
1. I have a rookie of the year award in my trophy case.
2. I am a top 5 all-time NHL points scorer for my country of birth.
3. I have played for two countries internationally.
4. I have scored a landmark power play goal during my NHL career.
5. I hold a streak-based NHL record.
Let’s see how you do folks! Good luck!
