If anyone gets a 100% they cheated. I just kept guessing legends that I could think of, and I was able to guess every winner back to 1962 and maybe 40% before that. I ended up with 61%

Anything before the mid 60's aside from a small group or repeat winners like Howe, Shore and Morenz is a shot in the dark. I've been to a quite a few NHL arenas, so I just started guessing names I remember seeing retired in the rafters. Still only got 76% though. Great quiz!

26/59 for 3 pts. From 1963-99, I got everybody except Lindros. Nothing before 1947. You'd have to be some kinda hockey fanatic to ace this. I'm sure there are some out there, but verrrry few, I'd imagine.

I got Gretzky, Limieux, Orr, and Ovechkin. After giving up, I recognized the names Jagr, Lindros, Messier, Hull (I think the one I heard of was Bobby, but maybe it was Brett, or possibly both), Lafleur (only from that one commercial he was in), and Howe. Never heard of any of these other guys.

My dad worked for the Washington Capitals for 17 years and I used to go to the games and have the run of the place as a kid. Got my picture with Wayne Gretzky and met a lot of other guys from the same era. Not very helpful on this quiz since Gretzky won every year, haha, but.. I could give a flip about the games. Never acquired my dad's interest in sports or hockey.

Interesting bit of related trivia: from 1981-2001, there were only three different players who led the league in points: Gretzky (10 times), Lemieux (6 times), and Jagr (5 times). Three guys in twenty-one years. Incredible.

Sometimes, when I get frustrated, I type an obscenity into the type-in place.

This is one of the few quizzes where typing an obscenity actually counts as a correct answer.

The score distribution on this is ridiculous. 30% of takers have 100% and no one else had more than 45/58 correct.

People cheat to get internet points. This is why we don't have leaderboards.

74%...those early years are hard. Only a few repeat winners back then, and some of them aren't all that well known. I still don't know who Tom Anderson, Buddy O'Connor and Billy Burch are. I could kick myself for missing Corey Perry, though.

You have "NHL Hockey" in the title of the quiz, which stands for "National Hockey League Hockey," which is redundant. In the description of the quiz, you have "NHL," which isn't redundant. Please stick with the latter on your sports quiz titles (e.g. MLB, NHL, NFL, NBA).

People always say this. You're wrong. "NHL" is a modifier describing the hockey. Which kind of hockey are you talking about? KHL? Field hockey? Olympic hockey? No, NHL hockey. It's perfectly cromulent.
