Your answer doesn’t seem to count the goalie. Raymond Summrs 2 years ago hockey, 1center, 2wingers. 2 defense, and a goalie, Six. tad 2 years ago “Slide down a narrow, twisting, and banked ice track headfirst on a small sled”, does not sound like a particularly smart thing to do. Kreu 2 years ago Fact: there are 6 players on the ice for each team in a hockey game. At even strength, teams use line combinations made up of 3 forwards and 2 defensemen during each shift. The sixth player is the goaltender, who remains on the ice for the majority of the game. Rita 2 years ago 7/10 from someone who has NO interest in sports. LOL! Rich D 2 years ago 7/10 I also think question 3 is wrong. Barry 2 years ago you can also pull your goalie in exchange for another player, so 6 is absolutely correct, even if you don’t want to count the goalie. D. E. Day 2 years ago The answer is 6 hockey players as Raymond said. If you pull the goalie, you can have 6 skaters. It is done frequently at the end of the game or when a penalty is called and the team that will receive the power play maintains possession of the puck. Sarah 2 years ago 8 correct – but I did a lot of lucky guesses!! DEX 2 years ago Ditto on item #3. Five skaters plus one goalie equals six. Fredrick 2 years ago 8/10 and I live in Florida. Gary 2 years ago 10 out of 10 Diane 2 years ago Yeah, 10 out of 10! Probably the only time I’ll score 100! Joe 2 years ago 11 out of 10 great VINCE 2 years ago 7 Danm 2 years ago 7 out of 10 correct. Mostly lucky guesses…I guess? Sam 2 years ago 7/10. Do NOT like snow, ice, cold weather, watching any of this stuff. But you all have a good time, hear? mike 2 years ago I know all sports have their place but, I once paid good money to see a prize fight and a hockey game broke out. Debby 2 years ago 5 out of 10. I know nothing of winter sports. I hibernate until the crocuses come up! Mike L 2 years ago Guessing Norway is good at the Biathlon, 10 Kilometers of cross country skiing with 4 stations for target shooting at 50 meters. Think they use .22 rifles now. Linda 2 years ago 4/10 – That’s the worst I have ever done on a quiz! I’m not a fan of winter, and it shows. Melinda 2 years ago I don’t do winter sports and don’t pay attention to them, so I’m surprised I got 4 right! Kreu 2 years ago 5 for 10, probably my worst ever. So, I’ll chalk this up to being my best “learning experience on an AMAC quiz” ever! 🙂 Go Steelers! Paul Lubell 2 years ago 9 of ten. I surprised myself. Only one guess. My miss was axel vs lutz. Bil 2 years ago 8/10 and I am from Kansas with no hills, mountains or much else. KateL 2 years ago 6/10. Not great, just okay. Loretta 2 years ago 8 out of 10 – 6 is right on a hockey team. Grew up watching the Bruins at the Boston Garden back in the days of Bobby Orr and Phil Esposito. Z. Cox 2 years ago Only missed the hockey team question. Loved having the Winter Olympics in SLC 2002! Learned a lot and was able to watch the biathlon competition! I hope we get to host them again! Carol 2 years ago I looked up the hockey question and the answer should be 6! More than 6 at a time constitutes “To many players on the ice”. So those that answered 6 is correct! Dianne 2 years ago 7/10 John Bass 2 years ago 7/10 Not too bad. I agree with Rich, Raymond and Robert. I should have 8/10 because of the goalie in the sport of hockey. ROBERT 2 years ago 7 of 10, but having read the first 2 comments, I should have had 8 of 10, if the first 2 responders are correct.
