Sample Questions
Hockey
Give the six-letter word, common in Canada but not exclusive to it, that can loosely be defined as “pick-up hockey” or “pond hockey,” and which serves as a catch-all for any kind of informal street hockey game played on ice. Body checking and “roofing” the puck are often forbidden in this style of hockey due to lack of protective gear, and the word derives from a Scottish sport—now mostly played in the highlands—somewhat like field hockey and hurling, played with sticks and a ball.

A 55th anniversary is even less of a thing than a 30th anniversary, but let’s remember some ABA ballers who sported the #55 jersey. Warren “Checkmate” Davis wore it for the Los Angeles Stars. Eugene “Goo” Kennedy donned it for the Spirits of St. Louis. And Gene Moore wore #55 while manning the center spot for the San Diego Conquistadors. Who was Moore’s head coach during the 1973-74 season? The Conquistadors had signed this man to play Moore’s position as well as coach the team, but he discharged his head coaching duties with towering indifference when a lawsuit prevented him from suiting up as a player.
