	Please note: you need to enter both the city and nickname to get credit. Teams that were created via relocation are not included on this quiz.

	Cleveland Barons?

	ryn44:	Mar 23rd, 2010 at 04:53 GMT	5 points
	Cleveland Barons were a relocation of the California Seals. Pretty interesting history when you learn that the Barons owners then merged their team with the then Minnesota North Stars only to attempt to move the team to San Jose, get denied, sell the team to the rest of the shareholders who then moved to Dallas and then they bought a franchise in San Jose.

	I knew the Rockies became the Devils, but never heard of the origin of the franchise.

	Do we really have to write "Mighty Ducks of Anaheim"? Just the Anaheim Ducks isn't enough?

	SilverCup:	Mar 23rd, 2010 at 18:39 GMT	4 points
	They weren't called the Ducks when they came in the league. The name changed a few years ago. If you type Anaheim Mighty Ducks, it accepts it.

Comment below threshold: show it

	i kept typing in colorado rockies and colorado scouts thinking there was something wrong with the quiz...cool quiz basically name the teams except the original 6 but with their old names which i like better

	I thought the California team were the "Golden Seals"

	IrishYanks:	Mar 25th, 2010 at 03:24 GMT	0 points
	How did people get some of these relocated teams before the Sabres or other established teams?

	adamnvillani:	Mar 25th, 2010 at 04:49 GMT	2 points
	amkirby -- the whole point is to test knowledge of NHL history. Since so many of these teams have relocated, knowing the city is important.

	Jono_:	Mar 26th, 2010 at 02:17 GMT	2 points
	they were first the Seals, then they were the Golden Seals. I got tricked by that too at first.

	kingofugly:	Mar 28th, 2010 at 17:08 GMT	3 points
	the blue jackets are finally first in something!

	galaxysong9:	Apr 6th, 2010 at 15:38 GMT	1 point
	Got the Seals because it was my father's childhood teams... I've heard the same stories about them hundreds of times. XD Also pretty proud I got the Scouts!

	sknapp:	Apr 9th, 2010 at 01:12 GMT	1 point
	Man, I knew they were the Golden Seals at one point! I'm only 23 so I learned that through just basic NHL history so didn't realize they entered the league as just the Seals. Piece of constructive advice: put that you need to get the whole franchise name in the note that Sporcle allows. I love that you have to do it but it might save a little confusion for those who don't want to be spoiled by a comment.

	RockSauce22:	Apr 9th, 2010 at 23:18 GMT	0 points
	i liked the fact that you had to type in the full franchise name, and sknapp i too only knew of the california golden seals im only 20... but all in all i thought this was great quiz and i dont see anything wrong with it because the author made it clear that he wanted expansion teams not relocated teams

	fatbeard:	May 3rd, 2010 at 20:46 GMT	2 points
	I'm only 20 years old, I can get the Scouts, the Seals, the Flames, all of them. But I miss... the Capitals?! I need to be alone

I almost missed the Capitals too. Good quiz with a good time limit.
