(Mods, could I get this thread stickied, and last year's unstickied? Thanks! )
Okay, who's ready for a little trivia?
Goaltender Trivia is back for its eleventh season today, and I hope you'll come along for the ride. I've got a good stockpile of questions; I've even got a good number of simpler questions so that I don't end up having to use a toughie on the two-pointer some week.
On that note, I'm always looking for ideas. Even if you think that they wouldn't work, drop me a line and maybe we can work together to turn them into something great!
The Goaltender Home Page (http://hockeygoalies.org) currently contains game logs for every NHL game since 1985-86, every AHL game since 2003-04, and every Olympics, World Championships event and Canada/World Cup that I can get my hands on. 1984-85 is about half done at the time; I'm pretty excited about that season because I'm a big Pelle Lindbergh fan and that was his magnum opus.
If you've got access to complete sets of box scores for anything I might be able to use (especially the 1992 Olympics) I'd love to hear from you. Also, if there's anything on the site that you'd like to see, I'd be happy to help.
I'm planning on distributing GT in four ways this season - on my website, through the GT mailing list (email [email protected] to subscribe), on the Usenet groups rec.sport.hockey and rec.games.trivia, and on HFBoards (http://hfboards.com).
One request - PLEASE do not post your answers publically. It's not fair to others who would like a fair shot at playing the game. I'll take answer submissions both through e-mail and through private messages on HFBoards (although I'd prefer e-mail just to keep things straight in my mind).
Most important request: HAVE FUN! This isn't brain science, and it sure as heck isn't rocket surgery. It's just a bunch of folks having a good time celebrating the sport of hockey.
Just as a reminder, I usually respond to all answer submissions on the weekend following the deadline (and not before). On the face of it, it's to prevent cheating, but really it's so that I can take care of it all at once.
Okay, let's get things going!
