Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What number did Wayne Gretzky wear during his career?

Answer: 99

Upon his retirement, the number 99 was retired league-wide in the NHL. Nobody can ever wear the number 99 again, unless there's a team with 99 players, the possibility of which is impossible.

Answer: He wanted to leave after being humiliated in a game where he wasn't pulled after letting in nine goals

The rookie coach of the Montreal Canadiens, Mario Tremblay, was the sole reason for Patrick Roy's departure to Colorado. He kept Patrick in net as a punishment against the Detroit Red Wings for letting in too many goals. Patrick Roy stormed away from the game and demanded a trade so he would never be humiliated again.
