This is my second Toronto Maple Leafs’ bonus trivia. The first one seemed to be enjoyed by readers.
As I noted, being an old guy, I love the history of the NHL. As a bonus feature to the OldProf’s hockey site, about once a week I will create a small bonus trivia test to see how well Maple Leafs’ fans know their team’s history.
The trivia quiz for today focuses on Toronto Maple Leafs’ goalie history. There are five questions shaped like riddles. See how well you do. The answer key is below.
Directions: Read the Riddles and look at the bottom for the answers. Fit the name of the goalie into the space after the riddle. You will find the answer key below the Upper Deck Canvas card of Jack Campbell.
