Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. When the West Coast Hockey League ceased to exist in 2002, five of those teams were admitted to the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL). After this expansion, which ECHL team had the northernmost hometown?

Answer: Alaska Aces

They hail proudly from Anchorage. Their emblem is a polar bear.
The Aces won the ECHL Championship, the Kelly Cup, in 2006.
2. The animal in the logo of one American Hockey League (AHL) team happened to be the Chinese zodiac's symbol of good luck and wealth. The club's NHL affiliate was the New Jersey Devils. Who was the AHL team?

Answer: Albany River Rats

Albany is the state capital of New York. In 1993, the River Rats' logo was named by 'The Hockey News' as the best in minor league hockey. The team was an associate of the NHLs New Jersey Devils from the 1990s to the 2000s.

In the Chinese zodiac system, if a person is born in the Year of the Rat, it is believed they may obtain good luck and wealth.
3. What two cities in the American Hockey League (AHL) had teams named the Admirals?

Answer: Milwaukee and Norfolk

The Milwaukee team's logo is a skull with a pirate's hat, while the Norfolk team wears a picture of a ship blasting through the waves.
4. What United States Hockey League (USHL) team shared part of its name with the characters of an Alexandre Dumas novel?

Answer: Sioux City Musketeers

The novel would be "The Three Musketeers," of course. Despite the hockey team's vivid nickname, there is no musket-bearer or soldier in their logo. On the home jersey, there is a spiky green stripe, and on the away jersey, the stripe is gold-colored. The team name appears on both.
5. What United Hockey League (UHL) team has a nickname which refers to an animal that does not exist?

Answer: Rockford IceHogs

In nature, there is no pig or hog that lives on ice sheets or glaciers. The hockey team's name is most likely a play on the expression "puck hog." It's a figure of speech for a player who goes not give up the puck or pass it, but insists on barreling ahead until he has a chance to score.
