No one actually picked #1 (i.e. questions 1 and 2) giving me the opportunity to re-use those two questions in the future. So here are the answers to the other six:
3. Name the only player to win four gold medals at the World Cup.
ANSWER: Kristian Carlsson during Sweden/Scandinavia's great gold medal run in the 20s
I literally made a spreadsheet about 3 days before this: http://www.vhlforum.com/index.php?/topic/22461-world-cup-medals/
4. Which number has been retired by the most franchises? Credit to gorlab
ANSWER: #14 was retired by Davos (David Smalling), New York (David Night), Toronto (David Henman), and Riga (Chris Julien). Bit of a trend there.
#10 was also retired four times but only by three franchises as New York retired it twice. That caught a few people out.
Retired numbers are located in VHL Franchise History section of the Hall of Fame.
5. Name 5 Hall of Famers who never won a Continental Cup. Credit to Mr. Power
ANSWER: Various combinations. Some great players failed to win the big one and they are all listed below.
Petr Shirokov, Maxim Desny, David Night, David Henman, Tarik Saeijs, Jukka Hakkinen, Benjamin Glover, Daniel Braxton, Ansgar Snijider, Kameron Taylor.
6. Who holds the single season record for hits? Credit to Phil
ANSWER: Tukka Reikkinen with 430 back in Season 30.
He beat Smalling's record from S27 who had beaten Leeroy Jenkins' from S26. What a time to be alive. http://www.vhlforum.com/index.php?/topic/257-hits-in-one-regular-season/
7. What was the last pre-expansion/"original eight" franchise to win its first championship? Credit to Green
ANSWER: The New York Americans had to move from Hamilton before finally getting their first cup in Season 14. They only got their second after expansion.
8. How many times has the Founder's Cup been won by a team which has since relocated/been contracted?
ANSWER: Twelve. From ancient gems like the Toledo Scorpions and Gothenburg Eagles to the recently perished Kolari Panthers and Minot Gladiators, the VHLM has seen many good teams disappear.
