VHL This Week Trivia Week 2 Answers + Claim List


Recommended Posts

  • Admin

1. Name a first overall pick from before Season 38 who never won the Continental Cup. (Credit to Kylrad)

ANSWER: Showing my age, the first name to come into my head was Malcolm Kelly (S14). Most people went for Ansgar Snijider (S25) or Mathieu VanCoughnett (S24).

Fairly easy search through the draft threads which now feature cups won next to each draftee.

2. How many future Hall of Famers played for the S5 Seattle Bears?

ANSWER: 6. Alex McNeil, Dust'n Funk, Brannan Anthony and of course Scotty Campbell up front, Patrice Reynaud on defence, and Adrian McCreath in goal.

The rest of the team was pretty great too and it's no surprise they are the only team in VHL history to score 400+ goals.

3. Which player has won the most Continental Cups in VHL history?

ANSWER: Leeroy Jenkins with five from S24 to S30.

The quickest way to find this would be by using this thread: http://www.vhlforum.com/index.php?/topic/10505-continental-cups-by-player-and-member/

4. Name a goaltender who has been named top goalie in both the VHLM and VHL. (Credit to der meister)

ANSWER: Numerous. From Hall of Famers CAL G, Aidan Shaw, and Benoit Devereux to the lesser-known Marek Van Urho, Marius Henchoz, and Andreas Bjorkman, among others.

The Benoit Devereux Trophy has proven to be a decent indicator of VHL success.

5. What is the best playoff performance by a VHL franchise in Stockholm?

ANSWER: It's a trap! The Stockholm Vikings have one conference final to their name last season but the Stockholm Rams, who moved to Riga in S8, made it to the cup final in S4.

Some were caught out but it was in truth a simple case of CTRL+F "Stockholm" in one of the two threads below:

6. How many times has the VHL seen a repeat champion?

ANSWER: 4. The S2/S3 Wranglers, S4/S5 Bears, S18/S19 Wranglers, and most recently S24/S24 Dynamo have managed the feat.

7. What current VHL team was formerly known as the Avangard Havoc? (Credit to Hybrid)

ANSWER: The HC Davos Dynamo, who were Avangard from S2 to S10, having been known as the Amstel Tijgers in S1.

This is mentioned in a few threads, like VHL all-time captains or GMs in League Talk or this handy guide: http://www.vhlforum.com/index.php?/topic/1129-vhl-team-abbreviations/

8. Name a Founder's Cup-winning team which had 6 additional awards (Team & Individual) but not a single future VHL Hall of Famer? (Credit to Kendrick)

ANSWER: I didn't know the answer to this question, but Kendrick said it was the S14 Brampton Battalion, which he GMed. The conditions also included the S25 Saskatoon Wild and S4 Gothenburg Eagles.
