	Great idea for a quiz. And yes, people watch hockey. In some places it even gets good ratings.

	what about toronto? montreal?

	kidcanada:	Dec 14th, 2009 at 18:46 GMT	5 points
	@yankeesfan26 - Toronto and Montreal currently have no captain.

	Great quiz! Never would have thought of Craig Rivet.

	@mcory: Do you enjoy coming into quizzes to sh** all over someone's hard work putting it together? Try watching hockey sometime. I'm warning you, you might enjoy it.

	I'm glad that Eric Brewer is the least guessed captain. We ran that guy out of Edmonton.

	i was surprised to see Luongo on there. i was under the (mistaken) impression that goalies could not be captains. wasn't it that way at one point in time?

	GrooGruxKing:	Dec 14th, 2009 at 20:21 GMT	6 points
	Goalies are allowed to be captains, but are not allowed to have the C on their jersey. I believe the reasoning is because the C allows players to enter the little ring at the red line boards where the the penalty boxes off where referees will "go upstairs", but goalies aren't allowed to cross the blue line. I didn't research this though, so someone correct me if I'm wrong.

	devzrulz:	Dec 14th, 2009 at 20:34 GMT	5 points
	@hotrod; Goalies are not allowed to act as captain on the ice, but Vancouver are allowed to have 3 alternate captains (usually there's only 2) who handle the dialogue with the refs. @quizmaker: can you change the answer for Detroit to at least accept his actual name (Lidström, with the "ö"). I understand that you also will have to accept Lidstrom, due to the fact that everybody doesn't have the ability to write the aforementioned letter, but for us who actually can, it would be better to have it as an option.. Really good quiz, by the way!!

	@mcory: Would you rather watch a big burly man crouch down behind another big burly man with his hand between his legs waiting for his ball? Sports are entertainment, let us hockey fans have our fun without you crapping all over it.

	@mcory, i want someone to pretend you're Donald Brashear and pull a Marty Mcsorley. See, at least hockey fans get to make good references

	@devzrulz: That is a good idea I would add Zdeno Chára,Илья Ковальчук, NJIbR KOBaJIb4yK, and Nicklas Lidström, but I can't edit it anymore. @B_smoove: The Maple Leafs and Canadiens do not have a captain instead they have three Alternate captains.

	Vincent Lecavalier's first year as captain of Tampa Bay was in the 2000-2001 season, which made him the youngest captain at the time, before Crosby was made captain of the Pens...the following season Tampa had no captain and Vinny wasn't renamed captain until 2008... so basically the way the hint is set up, it can throw people off.

	Thank you for re-making my other one, it had too many erorrs on it for fixing lol

	hockey rules. great quiz. did better than i thought i would, got 18. never would have gotten san jose or saint louis. washington also has a surprising captain.

	GrooGruxKing:	Dec 19th, 2009 at 20:43 GMT	2 points
	@meikamo, Why does Washington have a surprising captain? Clark is a veteran with playoff experience. Please don't tell me you think Ovechkin should be the captain...

	nearlyextinct:	Dec 28th, 2009 at 20:44 GMT	4 points
	Can the sporcle admins remove Chris Clark because he just got traded to the Blue Jackets.

	hopdevil:	Dec 29th, 2009 at 17:00 GMT	1 point
	clark should stay until they name a new one. or you could just play it safe and put ovechkin since it seems to be inevitable anyway

	i know about that, im just saying it would probably happen. the only other player i could see is mike knuble or maybe brooks laich

	hopdevil:	Jan 6th, 2010 at 00:59 GMT	1 point
	whoa, i must be a psychic. the new capitals captain is who? ovechkin.

	meikamo:	Jan 6th, 2010 at 18:06 GMT	2 points
	@GrooGruxKing Clark may have captained the Caps under my radar for a long time, so it may have been stupid of me to be surprised by his captain position. However, the Capitals management proclaimed his leadership and production values were running low when they traded him to the hockey black hole of Columbus this week. I think a guy like Ovie CAN be a good captain just because of what he does for the team, and for the sport in general.

	nearlyextinct:	Jan 21st, 2010 at 23:35 GMT	6 points
	Eric Staal is now the captain of the Canes.

	zoltrix2388:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 17:42 GMT	3 points
	Yep. Eric Staal is the Current Captain of the Canes

	GrooGruxKing:	Feb 2nd, 2010 at 05:59 GMT	1 point
	@meikamo, touche on the fact that Ovy is now their captain...

	rcalvete:	Feb 9th, 2010 at 05:23 GMT	4 points
	Kovalchuk isn't Atlanta's captain any more...

	fifthstarter:	Feb 21st, 2010 at 21:32 GMT	2 points
	Ah, poor Kovy he got to be captain for like a minute and then got traded...he seems to have somewhat of a leadership ability at least off the ice. Ovechkin seems to be an okay captain; he led his team to quite a winning streak.

	NardDog:	Mar 16th, 2010 at 23:10 GMT	2 points
	Kovalchuk is now a devil.

	Linden16:	Jun 22nd, 2010 at 04:41 GMT	0 points
	Rob Blake has retired, Arnott was traded to New Jersey, and Dion Phaneuf was named captain of the Maple Leafs.

	Slave2theGrind:	Jun 27th, 2010 at 18:11 GMT	0 points
	We want Phaneuf!! =)

	OneManArmy:	Jul 12th, 2010 at 04:45 GMT	-1 points
	Yea the Maple Leafs now have Dion Phaneuf as captain now.
