S64 Trivia Week 1 - Results

[Victor 10,527]

Thank you to everyone who participated, excellent turnout. Week 1 trivia is now closed, below are the correct answers and winners.

 

1. Which of these cities did not have a VHL franchise in S1?

New York is the correct answer. Yes, the Big Apple didn't have a VHL team until one Robbie Zimmers moved the Hamilton Canucks there prior to S7. They would then be the last original eight team to win a cup, getting their first in S14.

 

Stockholm caught a lot of people out, presumably because it doesn't have a team now, or maybe because some people saw/remembered that Vasteras moved to Stockholm in S41. In fact, Riga was based in Stockholm from S1 to S7, first as the Thunder, then as the Rams, while the final, post-Vasteras team was the Vikings. A convoluted and tragic history really.

 

Helsinki and Seattle have had teams since day 1, although in the very first seasons they were known as the Frostbite and Everblades respectively.

 

2. What is the most Continental Cups won by a single player?

Five Continental Cups have been won by two VHL Hall of Famers - Leeroy Jenkins (retired with his fifth cup in S30) and Black Velvet (retired with his fifth cup in S55).

 

Full list can be found here: https://vhlforum.com/topic/10505-continental-cups-by-player-and-member/

Four is quite rare as that spreadsheet shows, while no one has got more than 5 just yet.
