Austria The NHL and the International Ice Hockey Federation have agreed to work out a way for the league to suspend play for at least part of the 1998 Winter Games so its players can compete for their national teams, commissioner Gary Bettman said. The NHL wants to enhance the league's stature and marketability and a Dream Tournament format ôwould focus more attention on hockey than before,ö Bettman said. The NHL Players' Association also must be consulted, but Bettman doesn't expect that to be a stumbling block. The 1998 Games are in Nagano, Japan. The 1998 Nagano Winter Olympic Organizing Committee said it has approved the addition of women's ice hockey to the list of official medal events at the Games.

USENET Hockey Pool The USENET Hockey Pool is in its 7th year of operation. Last season, there were 261 teams from literally all over the world: every Canadian province, about 30 of the 50 U.S. states, and nine other countries in Europe and Asia. The pool operates like a stock market. You start off with 1000 points to "buy" the players of your team. You can sell and buy players during the season based upon their current point performance. Transactions are made by sending email messages, and standings are posted to rec.sport.hockey on a weekly basis. This year's pool will begin in early September, with an entry deadline of October 5.

Answers to some frequently asked questions: Q: Why are the Montreal Canadiens called the Habs? A: According to the magazine "Les Canadiens" (Number 2 of the 92-93 season), the following is the origin of the nickname "Habitants/Habs": "Partial credit for this nickname actually goes to an American. Reporter Tex Rickard had picked up on a rumour (a false one, of course) someone had told him about the 'H' on the Canadiens' uniform. It seems that someone mentioned that it stood for "habitant", a French word that in those days was used to denote the farmers of Quebec. "'This guy told Tex that the French-speaking players on the team came from the country, and since they were "farmers", they were therefore "habitants!"' recalls Camille Desroches. 'Habs' is simply a short form of the word." "That was back in the mid-twenties. The Canadiens had just won the 1923-24 Stanley Cup, and two teams from New York were just joining the NHL (the Americans in 25 and the Rangers in 26). To understand Rickard's thinking, it helps to remember that this was also a period of intense development in a number of more remote regions of Quebec..." Q: Why is the Montreal Canadiens logo a large C with an H within it? A: In 1914-15, the Canadiens logo consisted of C with an A within it to signify Club Athletique Canadien (CAC). The next year, CAC no longer existed and it was changed to what it is now. The logo is actually CHC that is written on the Canadiens' jersey. It stands for "Club de Hockey Canadien". Q: What is the most informative hockey publication? A: The Hockey News is preferred by most North American hockey fans. It is a weekly journal with up-to-date info. Phone: 800-268-7793 (Canada and US) Phone/fax: 0483 776141 (UK and rest of Europe) Q: How does a 5-minute power-play count in the penalty killing stats in the NHL? A: If X goals are scored, then the team gets credit for X goals in X+1 chances. Q: How is +/- computed in the NHL? A: First, +/- only applies to skaters. Except for a power-play goal, when a goal is scored, each skater on the ice for the scoring team is given a +, and each skater on the ice for the other team is given a -. Short- handed goals do count for +/-. Q: What is the five-hole? A: The space between a goalie's pads. There are five major scoring zones: (1) upper left corner of goal, (2) upper right, (3) lower left, (4) lower right, and (5) five-hole. Q: What is the meaning of throwing an octopus on the ice? A: This tradition began in Detroit in the 1950's when two best-of-seven series were required to win the Stanley Cup. Every time Detroit won a game, an octopus with one less arm was thrown on the ice. Q: Who was the first woman to play in an NHL game? A: Manon Rheaume, a 20-year-old goaltender, became the first woman ever to play in an NHL game on September 23, 1992 when she started in net for the expansion Tampa Bay Lightning in an exhibition against the St. Louis Blues. Rheaume played the first period before 8,223 at the 10,400-seat Expo Hall on the Florida State Fairgrounds and allowed two goals on nine shots. She left with the score tied 2-2, although the Lightning ultimately lost the game, 6-4. Q: Who is the commissioner of the NHL? A: Gary Bettman, vice president and general counsel of the National Basketball Association, was named commissioner of the National Hockey League, Friday, December 11, 1992. Bettman joined the NBA in 1981 as assistant general counsel. He became the league's chief legal officer in September of 1984. A New York resident, Bettman graduated from Cornell University in 1974 and from New York University School of Law in 1977. Q: How many professional hockey leagues are there in North America? A: Six: National, American, International, East Coast, Central and Colonial Hockey Leagues. Q: Where can I get an NHL rule book? A: Write to: NHL Publishing 194 Dovercourt Road Toronto, Ontario M6J 3C8 CANADA Q: What does the "A" on a player's jersey stand for? A: The "A" on a player's jersey signifies that he is an "alternate" captain. A player wearing a "C" is, of course, the captain. Q: What is the origin of the term "hat trick?" A: Hat trick - Three successive performances of a feat by the same individual in a contest. The oldest use is probably in cricket, where a hat trick is the dismissal by the bowler of 3 batsmen with 3 consecutive balls, for which the bowler apparently received a bonus of a new hat. The term is widely used in hockey and soccer to indicate the scoring of 3 goals by one individual in a single game. Originally the hat trick was the scoring of 3 consecutive unanswered goals (commonly referred to as a "natural" hat trick), but they need not be consecutive or unanswered to qualify as a hat trick today. The term has also been used of a jockey's riding a winner in 3 consecutive races or winners in an annual race for 3 consecutive years. A notable exception to the 3 successive performances which characterize a hat trick in other sports is its occasional use in baseball to mean that a player has hit for the cycle - a single, double, triple, and home run in one game. Source: Webster's Sports Dictionary. G. & C. Merriam Company (Springfield, MA): 1976. Q: When did the NHL begin using a five-minute overtime period? A: According to the NHL Guide & Record Book, the five-minute overtime period started in the '83-'84 season. Q: What's the story concerning Jim Schoenfeld, Don Koharski and "Have another doughnut!"? A: In the Wales Conference finals in 1988, the coach of the New Jersey Devils was very upset with the calls of referee Koharski. At the end of the game, the two met in the runway to the dressing room. Besides the arguing, Schoenfeld was accused of bumping Koharski (he may have tripped by catching his skate off of the runway carpet). More words followed, with Koharski claiming that Schoenfeld pushed him and Schoenfeld calling him "You fat pig! Go have another Doughnut!" etc. The result was a one game suspension of Schoenfeld by the league. NJ management challenged the suspension by going outside the league and getting a court injunction rendering the suspension invalid (remember this is playoff time). The referees for the next game decided not to call the game, and after an hour delay, New Jersey's off-ice officials dressed and the game was played. NJ beat Boston in that game. Schoenfeld served the suspension the next game since the game was in NJ. Boston ended up winning the series 4-3. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12. Miscellaneous For field hockey discussions, go to the newsgroup rec.sport.hockey.field. For skating discussions, go to the newsgroup rec.skate. Some sites get another hockey group, called clari.sports.hockey. c.s.h consists of the AP articles that are related to hockey, including game results, summaries, scores, standings, etc. Much of the information in the NHL team news section comes from this newsgroup. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The rec.sport.hockey Frequently Asked Questions posting is posted semi- monthly, usually on the 1st and 15th of each month, during the hockey season. This file was originally created by Tom Wilson, who posted it during the 1991-92 season.
