S79 Trivia Week 1 Answers

[Victor 11,034]

1. In S50, the Toronto Legion completed an unprecedented threepeat in Game 7. Who was the GM of the team which was one win from stopping them? (Credit and 1 uncapped TPE to @Gooningitup)

So the question tells you that S50 is the season you need, so all you need to find out is who did Toronto beat for their 3rd straight cup? That was Davos, and they were GMed by Vladamir Komarov, who also submitted this question. The bits you'd need for this are:

The list of cup winners and finalists: https://vhlportal.com/hof/awards/history/1 (or the S50 playoff index but beware of those in terms of GM info - also you should never need to use those to answer a trivia q)

The list of GMs (Davos' specifically): https://vhlforum.com/topic/1060-vhl-all-time-gms/

 

 

2. With Canada winning bronze at the S78 World Cup, that means they have now gone 6 tournaments without gold, last winning in S66. Is that their longest drought without a gold medal?

Not even close tbh. The number one resource for this is the World Cup medal tracker found here: https://vhlforum.com/topic/29475-world-cup-medals-by-team/

 

That shows that while Canada is on a fairly long streak given the size of the player pool, it's still a while before they match their worst - having gone on a drought of 8 tournaments during the Scandinavian dominance of S20-S34 (Canada got 3 silvers and 2 bronze in that period). Still time to stop the rot.
