	You actually misspelled Leschyshyn. There is no second "c" in there. I also rarely see Butenschon spelled like that. There are some real dandies in junior leagues, too. There is Wesley Vannieuwenhuizen and, here in Kingston, we have both Ryan Kujawinski and Sam Povorozniouk.

	I can't help but laugh at my mistake. Fixed!

	shaneisonfire15:	Jan 28th, 2013 at 21:29 GMT		2 points
	Maybe it's because I'm so used to inputing Nieuwendyk, I didn't think it was him. Kicking myself.

	NessGoJetsGo:	Jan 28th, 2013 at 22:11 GMT		2 points
	There's no E in "Butenschon"

	jujuju:	Jan 28th, 2013 at 23:11 GMT		2 points
	Can you also change the number of letter in Leschyshyn to 10 now? I was trying to work it out, but the 11 letters really through me off

	Margann:	Jan 29th, 2013 at 04:55 GMT		3 points
	@NessGoJetsGo, you can spell it with an "e" if you think of the fact that there is an umlaut on the "o"... that makes it "oe" in English.

	Great idea for a quiz! The first name Valtteri is misspelled.

	Lauro:	Jan 29th, 2013 at 21:48 GMT		1 point
	Nice one ^^

	cheesyjon:	Jan 29th, 2013 at 23:57 GMT		1 point
	I think that is the first time I spelt dubielewicz right in my life.

	VEC:	Jan 30th, 2013 at 04:07 GMT		2 points
	I compliment you for the idea, but I've never seen Paajarvi hyphenated before. Is this common for him?

	toocool4school:	Jan 30th, 2013 at 04:15 GMT		3 points
	Great quiz. Magnus usually just goes as Paajarvi though, I've never seen Svensson anywhere in box scores or game reports.

	Cockroach:	Jan 30th, 2013 at 06:57 GMT		2 points
	Saw that Walt and figured it had to be Tkaczuk.

	canadagraphs:	Jan 30th, 2013 at 09:54 GMT		2 points
	Butenschon only has 1 e. That second one needs to go. Overall, decent quiz though. There was 3 or 4 I knew, just couldnt get the proper spelling... or did I?

	No love for Vladimir Orszagh? Or Vladimir Tsyplakov? Coyotes prospect Darian Dziurzynski will be great for this when he hits the NHL. Canadiens oldie Gene Achtymichuk would work, as would Igor Vyazmikin of the Oilers. Jaroslav Svejkovsky of the Capitals and Maxim Balmochnykh of the Devils compete with former Red Wing Gus Giesebrecht and Alexander Godynyuk of the Whalers. Kyosti Karjalainen of the Kings, Ivan Novoseltsev of the Coyotes are trying to eke their way in there. Anyhow, I digress. Great quiz.

	Peter Ihnacak, Johannes Salomonsson, Nikolai Borschevsky, Ryan Vandenbussche, Andrei and Sergei Kostitsyn/Kastitsyn...
