Ice Hockey: NHL Trivia (Trial Run)

OK, its Tivia Time. every once in a while I am going to offer up some trivia for the NHL or just hockey in general.

It will be fairly simple. I will ask the question, and anyone who thinkgs they know the answer, post in this thread with it.

Once the correct answer has been posted, I will ask a new question, maybe immediately, maybe not for a few days.

I will try to keep a tally of whom gets the most correct, and posts first.

FIRST QUESTION (This one is easy).

In what city did the Colorado Avalanche originate?

NEW INFORMATION
If you have a question that you would like me to ask, send me a u2u. The more obscure the better. But I give no promise that I will use your questions.

Points will be assigned based on how hard I believe the question is.

u2u format for questions you would like asked:
Q) the question
A) the answer
X) source (this can include your memory)

Ahh, close, but the NHL was formed before the first game. What was that date?

That would be correct.

I guess these questions are a little too easy...

cheated on the second one, had to look it up -1

i guess i was a little to late to get into the action

You were for the start, but I have the book of stats and some special web sites. So I will have a few more. In fact, I have another right now.

Which 2 teams were added during the 1974-75 season?

I am looking for city/state name and club name. (IE: Detroit Red Wings, Minnesota Wild, etc...)

Im taking a guess here at the Washington Capitols and Kansas City Scouts....

You guessed correctly, just can't spell

Capitals

Spelling just a minor detail

Yes TRD is on the scoreboard!

how do i keep missing it.

Sorry Ben, toejam and TRD are stealing the show. But I have many more questions. In fact, here is another.

I am also going to be assigning point values to the questions based on how many answers are possible and how much detail I am looking for.

New information in the first post of this thread regarding questions you would like asked.

Who was the last President of the NHL? 1 pt.
