Welcome!! This website is for the die-hard hockey trivia
fan, as well as for my fellow die-hard Islander fans. Do you
think you are an expert on the NHL? Well what about the IHL or
the AHL? I might even throw a few questions in there on the WHL,
OHL, QMJHL and College hockey. And let's not forget the WHA or
the Olympics. Hey, if  it has anything to do with hockey i'm
gonna ask it. So be prepared.


     The format will be pretty easy. Every two weeks I will ask 5
questions. Each question will be worth 10 points. At the end of
the first two weeks of the month I will post the leaders for
that particular month. At the end of the month, the player with
the most points after the 10 questions will be the champ.

January 26th, 2001
     Congrats to Travis Favretto who ended the year of 2000
with a perfect score of 100 points, becoming only the second
player to do so. His win ends a great run by Stéphane Robert,
who had 8 straight championship wins. It turned out to be a good
competition with newcomer Jason Kurylo also putting up a great
fight. Hopefully there will be more battles like that in 2001.
I know i'm a bit behind. I'm planning on giving the first half
questions for January at least a week, could be more. There will
be plenty time. I decided to bring back a favorite of mine for
this month, the Who Am I question. Couple of tough ones I think.
Good Luck! And, please sign my Guestbook if you have not already.
It's begging for some cyber ink. Thanks! ;)  

Coach Goring Fired

     Last night the players quit on Butch Goring as they played a no energy game in front of the home crowd during a 6-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Today Butch payed for it with his job. It seems unfair that Butch was not awarded the same chance as GM Mike Milbury has been given. Unfortunately the once great Islander could not get the current team to play hard every night. His constant line juggling did not help as he desperately searched for something to change the Isles ways.

     Taking over as interim coach for the Isles will be Lorne Henning. Lorne was the coach of the Islanders during the lock out shortened 1995 season, the first of the now 7 straight seasons that the team has missed the playoffs. Though Lorne will run the troups for the final 17 games, Milbury alluded during the press conference today that he will be actively searching for a new coach for next season.
