    Default Trivia Time - 1st overall picks to win the cup

    Hello All,

    Since 1980 there have been 8 of the first overall draft selections that have went on to win the cup - Can you name them without looking?

    I was able to get 7 out of 8.

    Great question. I am not sure that I could name 8 #1 picks over the past 40 years let alone the ones that won the cup.

    Trivia question #2. What all time NHL record did Wayne Gretzky achieve after he retired?
    CONDORS, 2022-23 league champions, Reg Dunlop Mem Cup

    12-team, H2H. Keep 12, but drop 2 of top four skaters, and also 2 of next six, then five more (from end-of-year rankings). One GK max.

    Stutzle, Sergachev
    Keller, Doughty, Verhaeghe, ErikssonEk
    E.Lindholm, Barzal, J.Gaudreau, Huberdeau, S. Wright
    Gustavsson

    I should have known that one too. Sadly he wound up homeless on the streets of Kenora, my neighboring town.
