Hockey Off-Season Games

[Siouxman]

The Fighting Sioux hockey off-season is a drag from a sports perspective. It is a time for forum topics to be hijacked, frustrated fans venting on other fans, and everyone waiting for the next season to start. To help pass the off-season here is a quiz to guess the UND Fighting Sioux hockey player(s) based on the clue given. The clue relates to the player's last name, but both first and last names are required. Some will have two answers. All of these players are pre-2000, but may carryover beyond 2000. Some are well-known and some are not. PM me if you want the answers.

Hopefully others can come up with some more games to pass the time.

1. Off-spring of Richard

2. At the end of a play you bring down the "________"

3. A brand of automobile manufactured in the US from about 1904-1925 (two names)

4. A common brand of lawn equipment

5. The business of dressmaking

6. No, he is not associated with MI6

7. Hmmm, is the circus coming to town? (and no, this is not Tony Hrkac)

8. To pour down a drink you have to "_______" back.

9. Just a "______'s" throw away

10. The business of suits.

11. Australian and New Zealand confectionary brand

12. Harry and the "___________s"

13. German tank (two names)

14. Dennis' neighbor

15. "_______" Perry opened up Japan for trade with the U.S.

16. An elderly comic book character

17. A female smooch

18. A lower member of royalty

19. The weapon of Thor

20. A brand of bathroom fixtures

21. A spotless fast food restaurant

22. Offspring of Dave

23. Slower than a runner

24. Be "____" to yourself

25. He was not the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the Gulf War

My sincere apologies to any Fighting Sioux players who do not like their clue.

Have fun.

Wow. Clearly since retiring, you have waaaaay too much time on your hands.

Obviously I do, since so far it appears that no one has an interest. But that is okay since I learned some things along the way, like the name of an Australian/New Zealand confectionary company.

Sioux hockey is 365/366 days per year for some of us.

Siouxman,

Thanks for putting this together. I have about half of them figured out; still working on the rest. I think #20 is my favorite so far .
