University of Miami (Florida) are the Hurricanes, or Canes for short. So in a way you were right, just not in a way that Jetpunk will be considering any time soon :P
For me the hardest part was remembering where all the cities are in western Canada but I'm bad at geography and from America so I guess I didn't need to know that until today
Its actually proper English. First its a proper and collective noun adding an "s" is all that is required. Second, the team is not named after a maple leaf but either the Maple Leaf regiment in the Canadian Army or the use of the maple leaf badge.
Hardest part for me was I've never heard of 4 of those teams. Confession. I grew up in Arizona where the snow sticks more than 24 hours about once every 10 years.
And yet Bettman will not allow that team to go somewhere where people actually want it. (And yet he was thrilled to allow the original Winnipeg Jets to move there in '96.) Winnipeg beat Arizona last night again - the Jets 1.0 have never again won in Winnipeg.
Ive lived in central AZ for 17 years almost and it hasn't snowed where I live once. lol its snowed more in Phoenix than up wher eI live which is much higher.
As I was taking the quiz, I thought that Kraken was included as a decoy to make the quiz more a bit more difficult. Lo and behold, Seattle has an expansion team and I somehow managed to not read or hear a single thing about it until seeing it on a trivia site.
