NLL Insider

Was only gonna do this trivia post every couple weeks, but with the amount of feedback we got, think this is gonna have to be a weekly spot, going up every Friday.

Not a whole lot else to say. Hit the boards with your answers. First person with a correct answer will get the points, just like the previous week. Got one question in there that has 12 points up for grabs. Hit the link and get guessin’.

1. Although much is presently and deservedly being made of former Mississauga Tomahawk, John Tavares, and his climb to the NHL, what former Tommie has already made the jump to the NHL, making his debut last year? Bonus: What NHL team drafted the player in question and what NLL team also drafted him?

2. Previous to Daryl Veltman scoring a natural hat-trick to start a game versus the Philadelphia Wings this year (Friday, January 23, 2009), who was the last player to also score a natural hat-trick to start a game in the NLL?

3. What player’s stick did Colin Doyle use during the NLL Champion’s Cup final in 2002?

4. What former teammate did Craig Conn win the most Minto Cups with? Bonus: What current teammate(s) off the Toronto Rock has Conn won a Minto Cup with?

5. Who is the last BCJALL (BC Jr. A) player that led the league (the BCJALL, not the NLL) in both regular season scoring (total points) and penalty minutes?

6. What current NLL Head Coach played as a full-time player during the 2001 NLL season alongside a player he presently coaches in the league this year, and who is the player in question? Bonus: Who coached both that coach and player during the 2001 NLL season?

 7. What former New York Saint had his skull fractured by former Buffalo Bandits defender, Andy Ogilvie, during a fight in the 2003 NLL season at HSBC Arena?

8. Who was the last NLL Rookie of the Year to hail from the province of British Columbia? Bonus: Who was the last WLA (Sr. A) Rookie of the Year to win any ‘major’ NLL year-end hardware (not including All-Team members)?

9. What Canadian did Zack Greer play alongside in his freshman year at Duke University? Bonus: During the same year as Greer’s freshman season, ten Canadians led NCAA Division I schools in scoring (total points, goals + assists). Name those players (each correct player/school is worth a point). Clue: All but one of those ten is currently in the NLL. Extra Bonus: What team did Greer score his first ever regular season point against as a Duke freshman, and what Canadian was playing for the opposition? Both Greer and this other player led their team in scoring in that game. Clue: The other player does not currently play in the NLL.

10. What former Jr. A Calgary Raiders player played hockey for Dartmouth University but did not play on the school’s lacrosse team during his four years there? Bonus: What NHL team drafted him?

Again, hit the boards over the next week with your answers, and then Friday we’ll reveal the correct answers and best guessers.
