These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-11-02,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of the Bloor St. Irregulars,
and are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may
have been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information
see my 2015-08-18 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 6, Round 7 - Sports - Not Gretzky
The answer is *not Gretzky*.
Here are 10 questions about hockey. In each case, name the player.
It will always be someone other than the Great One.
1. Gretzky holds the record for most points per game (PPG) over
the course of his career (1.92). This player places second,
averaging 1.88 PPG. He holds several other scoring records,
but is also fondly remembered for scoring the winning goal
(assisted by Gretzky) against Russia to essentially win the
1987 Canada Cup. Name him.
2. This decorated Detroit Red Wing, and contemporary of the Wayner,
ranks 6th in all-time points. He also holds the distinction
of being the longest-serving captain in North American team
sports history, at 19 years. He is now the GM of the Tampa
Bay Lightning and Team Canada. Name him.
3. The current captain of the Chicago Blackhawks, this player
holds the distinction of being the youngest member of the Triple
Gold Club -- winning a world championship, Olympic gold medal,
and Stanley Cup. (Even #99 hasn't done that!) He shares his
last name with another Manitoban, who served as the Minister
of Public Safety and Minister of Justice under Stephen Harper.
Name the hockey player.
4. This Russian superstar, who was drafted first overall in 2004
by the Washington Capitals, has won the Hart trophy as MVP
3 times (sharing this record with Gretzky among others) and
has led the league in goals 5 times -- most recently in 2015,
scoring 53. Name him.
5. This Sault Ste. Marie native born in 1942 became the first NHL
player to score 100 points in a season. His most productive
years were with the Boston Bruins, winning Stanley Cups in 1970
and 1972; in 1971 he set the single-season points record of 152
that was later shattered by Gretzky. He was the inspirational
leader of Team Canada during the Summit Series, and currently
serves as a radio announcer for the Tampa Bay Lightning --
a team he founded. Name him.
6. This Czechoslovakian-born center, who played 22 years for
the Chicago Black Hawks, is the 14th-highest scorer of all time.
He is the only player to win the Hart trophy, Art Ross, and
Lady Byng in the same season, actually doing it twice. In the
"Wayne's World" movies, Mike Myers inserted this player's name
on a Chicago doughnut chain store as an homage to Tim Horton's.
Name him.
7. The third member of the "Punch Line" from the 1940s with Toe
Blake and Elmer Lach, in 1944-45 this Montreal Canadien became
the first player to score 50 goals in 50 games. (Gretzky would
later go on to score 50 in 39 games in 1981-82.) He was
inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1961 and now has a
trophy named after him, for the player who scores the most
regular-season goals. Name him.
8. This beloved Montreal Canadien center was the first winner
of the Conn Smythe trophy as playoff MVP in 1965, and has
won 17 Stanley Cups as a player and executive. He was made
a Companion of the Order of Canada in 1998 and was named the
honorary captain of the 2010 men's Olympic team. Name him.
9. Gretzky played 1,487 games in the NHL, but this center holds
the record of in 964 *consecutive* games played, with the
Montreal Canadiens, Washington Capitals, and Hartford Whalers.
Name this player, who shares a last name with a Toronto street
that runs from Queens Quay to Bloor St.
10. Nicknamed "Mr. Goalie" and one of the pioneers of the butterfly
style of goaltending, this Humboldt (Saskatchewan) native holds
the record for most consecutive games played by a goalie at 502.

despite appearances, are not actually related.

as a solo artist and separately as a principal member of a band.
Name him.

In the original game it was revealed *in the question* that Phil
Esposito's first name was required, but "Richard" was acceptable by
itself -- even though in our game the QM apparently didn't belive
this, and demanded a first name. I think the way I've done it here
is more appropriate.
