That seems to work, although I was sure the vague reference to "The Cup" in #4 was a reference to some other Cup besides the Stanley Cup (Memorial Cup, etc.).

Interesting point, plus, I used an Assist in reference to scoring since Goal was not specified

Aeros were never an NHL team.
Also, Sid Abel was the captain of the 51/52 Red Wings.

Your reasoning is sound, albeit in relation to another clue...

Well, the answer for Leetch worked if the assist was the trick clue. Only other clue I can think of would be #5, be it an international/team/etc. HOF. Clues 2 and 3 seem pretty cut-and-dry.

Well, he wasn't the first Smythe winner ever on the losing side (Reggie Leach in '76). And I don't think the Canada Cup had the names put on it (could be wrong). Sorry, can't help you on #1.

Almost makes it seem like that could be as an executive and not a player.
