	Not sure, but I typed Ruff in for Lindy Ruff and it showed up... but I was not able to get another last name to pop up... I typed Melrose and it didnt work then typed Barry Melrose and it worked... not sure why it doesnt just take the last name for all of them..

	I couldn't figure out why Barry Melrose of all NHL coaches would be the one most people got, until I realized that they must be checking out the above comment in the middle of the quiz! Kudos to Sporcle for these NHL-themed games since I sure as hell can't do the baseball or football ones.

	They need this game for Fa premier league

	Barry Melrose is the most known because he is hockey...at least his mullet is. And he left ESPN to coach again so he's probably got the most coverage recently.

	this has to be one of the quizzes with the lowest percentage of complete correctness (or whatever). don't know anyone who can get all these.

	^^^Agreed. I'm a diehard hockey fan and I only got 20/30. Well, officially it was 18/30 but I knew that Therrien coached Pittsburgh and Vigneault coached Vancouver, but I couldn't spell their names properly. There are a lot of new coaches this year and I wasn't even aware of some of the changes.

	donruss:	Nov 17th, 2008 at 23:41 GMT	2 points
	Substitute Rick Toccet for Barry Melrose since he has been fired by the Lightning.

	hckytender:	Nov 25th, 2008 at 01:46 GMT	3 points
	Denis Savard was fired by Chicago 4 games into the season. New coach is Joel Quenneville

	bsd987:	Nov 28th, 2008 at 19:46 GMT	1 point
	Yup. They already fixed Tampa, but not Chicago, which fired its coach a month before Tampa. Odd....

	ohartclass:	Dec 16th, 2008 at 15:42 GMT	1 point
	savard got ousted.

	brrap_brrap:	Dec 21st, 2008 at 01:27 GMT	2 points
	Along with Savard needing to be corrected, Laviolette is no longer the coach in Carolina. They fired him and replaced him with former bench boss Paul Maurice.

	Bye-bye Mike Keenan (again)

	Lauro:	Jul 11th, 2009 at 01:55 GMT	4 points
	It doesn´t take Martin @Mon

	Jacques Lemaire is now the coach of the New Jersey Devils.

	kevincrumbs:	Aug 5th, 2009 at 03:52 GMT	1 point
	How can "vacant" have been hired since 2009?

	faber:	Aug 17th, 2009 at 19:18 GMT	1 point
	Joe Sacco! Damn..the only one I missed!

	thatmarkguy:	Oct 18th, 2009 at 14:31 GMT	4 points
	I'd like to reiterate Lauro's comment above - it's not accepting "Martin" for the Canadiens coach. It accepts every other last name as best as I can tell, but not Martin.

	kjbopp:	Dec 11th, 2009 at 17:57 GMT	1 point
	5 minutes just ain't enough time! We have to have time to think~

	Benag33:	Dec 14th, 2009 at 19:54 GMT	1 point
	Less than half get Trotz and hes the second longest tenured coach on here, crazy.

	TheGreatZo:	Feb 3rd, 2010 at 23:33 GMT	3 points
	Time for another update -- Ken Hitchcock fired and replaced by Claude Noel.

	TheBurgerKing:	Feb 28th, 2010 at 00:36 GMT	0 points
	Technically I got 27/30 but I knew the 2 I "missed" just couldn't spell them right.

	ARP:	Jul 21st, 2010 at 20:03 GMT	1 point
	Tom Renney is the new Head Coach of the Edmonton Oilers, replacing Pat Quinn.
