NHL Trivia

The ground this quiz covers

Sixteen questions in total. Eleven are about Stanley Cup champions between 1995 and 2025. Five are about hockey’s settled rules — the fixed numbers of the game itself. One season inside that span is deliberately absent: the 2004-05 season was lost to a lockout and no Stanley Cup was awarded, so no question asks about it. Everything that is asked comes from a completed, settled season.

Final Score is independent of the NHL. The league’s name identifies the competition here, nothing more.

The data behind the answers

Two authors wrote the champions dataset separately, without seeing each other’s work. The two versions were then diffed entry by entry, and all 232 entries agreed on the first pass — only then were questions generated from it. The rule questions draw on a companion dataset of the settled numbers of 14 sports, assembled under the same two-author check. Nothing in the answer key rests on a single person’s memory.
