Answer Key
Q1 Answer: d) Ottawa Senators – The first team to win the Stanley Cup in back-to-back seasons was the old Ottawa Senators franchise. The NHL officially began in 1917, and in 1920 and 1921, the Ottawa Senators won the league championship, taking home the Stanley Cup.
Q2 Answer: b) Bob Gainey – The Selke Trophy was introduced in the 1977-78 season, and Montreal Canadiens forward Bob Gainey took home the trophy in each of the first four years of its history. No other player has won the trophy four years in a row since.
Q3 Answer: b) Marcel Dionne – Despite the tie between Marcel Dionne and Wayne Gretzky, Dionne took home the Art Ross in the 1979-80 season because he had more goals that Gretzky, which was the first tiebreaker. Had the award gone to the second tiebreaker, Gretzky would have won it as he scored a matching 137 points in one less game than Dionne did.
