Week 1 of Season 49 has come to an end. Week 2 will officially open tomorrow but you may start sending in your numbers now.
Answers for Week 1:
PART A 1. Which team has lost the most times in the Continental Cup finals? (Credit to Dangles13) ANSWER: The New York Americans. They racked up quite a few when they lost 6 finals in 9 seasons from S25 to S33 and remain "first" with 8, just ahead of Toronto and Riga with 7 apiece.
2. Name the only player to ever win three Bronze Medals without any other colour medal? (Credit to Kendrick) ANSWER: RJ Stafford - in fact the only player to win 3 bronze medals at all. At least he captained Vasteras to a cup.
3. Which player has won the most Continental Cups of all time? (Credit to solas) ANSWER: Thomas O'Malley tried so hard but fell just short of Leeroy Jenkins' record of 5 earned from S24 to S30. Apart from O'Malley and Jenkins, only 2 other players have more than 3 championships.
4. Who was the winner of the inaugural VFHL (Victory Fantasy Hockey League) Championship? (Credit to STZ)
ANSWER: I don't know if STZ intended the question to be about the VHFL "Alpha" but that's what everyone else went for:
It's our beloved Bushito/Mr. Grumpy Bear!
PART B Which first name is the most common among players inducted into the VHL Hall of Fame? ANSWER: Strictly speaking it's Alexander with 5 (Beketov, Chershenko, Labatte, Valiq, Sauve). Matt/Matthew also come in at 5 but then you have to include the Alexs - McNeil and Gegeny.
