Its because its referring to a singular leaf on the canadian flag. Not just all leaves in general.

Level 86
Jul 6, 2021
The team was named after Canadians soldiers who wore a Maple Leaf in WWI. The plural Leafs is actually grammatically correct since it refers to a group and is a proper noun. As a common noun, it wold be maple leaves with maple being an adjective and not considered part of the title or noun.

Crap, 29/30 again, I always forget one. It was the Wild this time... I was browsing a mental map of the US and kind of feeling the missing team had to be somewhere around Minnesoa, but all I could remember was that it was not the North Stars anymore.

I personally don't like hockey because it seems like anarchy. Unlike soccer, the puck moves around so haphazardly and changes possession so frequently that there doesn't seem to be a lot of strategy going on, just a bunch of robust Russians and Canadians slapping the puck as hard as they can towards the other team's goal.

Wow, I can tell you really know a lot about hockey! I'm sure you're right that it's totally random and haphazard and they don't really plan out anything that they do. Maybe they should stop play regularly when one player brushes another so hard that he apparently loses an eye, then they can stand in a line with their hands over their giblets while another guy shoots the puck as hard as he can at them to try to score. That would make way more sense. :-\

While I'm from 'The State of Hockey' I don't think its possible for me to care less about the game. However, I do love ESPN and was curious to see just how many team names I absorbed through osmosis: I scored 30/31; missed the Capitals.

Not sure if you're counting teams that haven't played yet, but the Seattle Kraken are set to play in the 2021-2022 season
+1
Level 39
Jul 30, 2020
The quiz description does use the verb "play" in present tense. Kraken doesn't play yet, so the present tense "play" doesn't include them.

But in the future, as soon as Kraken starts playing, the quiz should be updated of course.

It's alphabetized, but by team name, not place name. For example, the first entry is Colorado's team, as their name begins with "A."

Level 80
Jul 30, 2024
It's bizarre that they can't just pick a damn name. Instead, they're like "Well, we have to wait a whole season and use a temporary name, so that we can eventually figure out a name!". Maybe they just want to double dip, and get a bunch of overexcited fans to buy a bunch of "Utah Hockey Club" gear, then get them to buy it all again next year with the actual team name and logo.

I mean, as an Englishman these names are miles better than made up nicknames. I follow Football, ahem, "Soccer" and Rugby League. Football names are just "Town/ City" FC, United, City etc. Rugby League has the Warrington Wolves, Leeds Rhinos, Castleford Tigers, Leigh Leopards... Neither town has seen either of those animals.
