[28] Dave did indeed play his 1000th NHL game with the Canucks, but he wasn't the first. Return to question 6 [35]

[46] He invented towel power, but he's not the answer to this question. Return to question 7 [60]
[47] That answer is just plain wrong in so many ways. Return to question 3 [23]

[53] Close, very close. But still wrong. Return to question 4 [49]

Rick Ley [20]

5.
Bob McCammon [57]
[61] The Canucks weren't that lucky. Return to question 2 [13]
[62] He played most of his games in Vancouver, but not his 1000th. Return to question 6 [35]]
[63] They haven't been around that long. Return to question 4 [49]
[64] If you include the Atlanta games, you're right. But I don't. Return to question 4 [49]
[65] Very good. He switched from 31 so the coaches wouldn't think he was a goalie. Proceed to question 9 [39]

Answer to bonus question: The World Hockey Association (WHA) -- not to be confused with the Western Hockey League (WHL) -- was founded in the early 1970's. Teams took to the ice for the 1972-73 season in several cities, including Philadelphia. After one season, the Philadelphia Blazers were purchased by Vancouver interests and moved to the Pacific Coliseum.

The team retained its name and the "Vancouver Blazers" were born. The Canucks (representing the NHL) and the Blazers (representing the WHA) competed for the hearts and pocket books of hockey fans in Vancouver for two seasons. The Canucks emerged as a playoff contender and a .500 hockey team in 1974-75, pushing the Blazers out of town.

The Blazers moved to Calgary for the 1975-76 season where they were renamed the "Cowboys" and lasted two more seasons.
