Canadian sports trivia

I've gone to trivia night at a local pub a few times this summer. It's actually a lot of fun - playing trivia and hanging out with friends makes for a good evening. The game has eight categories of trivia, each with a particular theme. However, the one drawback is that if there is any category that is oriented towards American culture (federal politics, football, guns), I'm mostly useless.

Last week, though, I lucked out: there was a category devoted to Canadian sports trivia. For most Americans, the questions were probably pretty tough; for any Canadian who has lived in Canada for the past 20 years, they were dead easy.

1. Which MLB team had a mascot named Youppi?


2. What is the name of the now-relocated Montréal Expos?


3. Which Toronto Blue Jays player hit a home run to win the 1993 World Series?


4. What city did the Memphis Grizzlies move from?


5. To which American team did Wayne Gretzky famously move to from Canada?


6. Which NHL team has won the most Stanley Cups?


7. The Montreal Alouettes won the Canadian Football League's title last year. What is the trophy called?


8. Saskatchewan and Ottawa's football teams are both called what?

My team ended up getting all of the questions correct (I don't think my teammate knew most of the answers). I also ended up winning $5 off my meal by being the first to answer the bonus question: Which NFL team agreed in 2008 to play one regular season game each year in Canada? (I submitted my answer before the question was finished being read.)

A great night! It definitely makes up for the "Tennessee" category I had to put up with a few weeks back.
