Hockey Quiz No. 5

I know everyone is busy and all, with the holidays fast approaching, but if you're in need of a hockey-related diversion in the weeks ahead, why not test your hockey intelligence on Hound Central 4.0's exclusive Hockey Quiz?

Last month, we had two entrants -- Rob Quick and Drew -- who combined to unlock the mysteries of the monthly quiz. Join them, won't you, in testing your knowledge?

In the interest of accuracy, too, I must admit to botching the initial spelling of one of the Hockey, Scrambled names (it was corrected). I tried a little harder this time.

Hound Central 4.0 is trying something new. Comments with answers won't be posted immediately. Maybe that will encourage more competition.

Name this Logo

I'm glad I don't keep score any more when it comes to this contest. If I did, it would be embarrassing. With all due respect to Rob, I suppose the logo showed just a little too much to make it recognizable.

Let's see if this one is just as easy. This time, though, only this visual clue.
