Trouble is I'll only know the NFL players and the most famous Basketball and Baseball players (and Wayne Gretski).

Isn't that a famous ice hockey player? I don't watch it, it's a dreadful game.

They should get rid of the dull  bit behind the goals and make the puck flash, so you can see where it is. Otherwise, it's about as bad as sport can get I think.

Apropos of nothing at all, my porn collection when I was in the Army in Germany was labelled up as various sports people, Wayne Gretski being one of my favourites.

It's a con. Why does it tell you to name any hockey player when it knows it can't connect them to another sport? I wasted valuable time looking up the 1925-26 Montreal Canadiens roster to test it.

I enjoyed Ice Hockey as a live sport more than any other U.S. sport. It came closest to the atmosphere of a football game, though admittedly half the fun was the fighting. During one NY Rangers game a bench-emptying fight full of gusto broke out and the co-commentator, a former Ranger, exclaimed "Ooh, ooh, great fight! .... I wasn't supposed to say that, was I?".

Hockey is a great game to see live. I will be at the Phoenix Coyotes game this Saturday.
