About This Quiz

Do you recall when Gretzky moved so easily on the ice and you said to yourself, ‘how does he do that?’ From Lemieux’s magic and Orr’s flying stride to Sawchuk’s ice mask, hockey’s pantheon is filled to the brim.

This quiz takes you back to those stories—Hull’s thunderous slapshot, Chelios’s ironman mentality, Bure’s blinding speed and MacKinnon’s snappiest of turns. A jersey number, a missing incisor or a playoff beard of wild profusion can be enough to get you reminiscing.

Lace up and give it a whirl. You might surprise yourself with how many names from frozen pond lore you can still rattle off.
