I did this on the main board, and thought this game could be a good way of keeping the Ducks board alive as well during corona times ...

But unlike on the main board, here we're keeping the trivia to Ducks players only (former or current ones). You can make your own trivia simply by copy/pasting the coding in my post and replace it with your own players and clues.

I played for three different teams in the WHL before I was drafted by Anaheim. They were the Victoria Cougars, the Prince George Cougars (relocated from Victoria) and the Brandon Wheat Kings.

8 points:

6 points:

4 points:

2 points:
I played my last games in Anaheim during the 2003/2004 season. After the lockout, the salary cap came around and I was traded to Phoenix to make room.
