Answer: Albany River Rats

Albany is the state capital of New York. In 1993, the River Rats' logo was named by 'The Hockey News' as the best in minor league hockey. The team was an associate of the NHLs New Jersey Devils from the 1990s to the 2000s.

In the Chinese zodiac system, if a person is born in the Year of the Rat, it is believed they may obtain good luck and wealth.

3. What two cities in the American Hockey League (AHL) had teams named the Admirals?

The Milwaukee team's logo is a skull with a pirate's hat, while the Norfolk team wears a picture of a ship blasting through the waves.

4. What United States Hockey League (USHL) team shared part of its name with the characters of an Alexandre Dumas novel?

Answer: Sioux City Musketeers

The novel would be "The Three Musketeers," of course. Despite the hockey team's vivid nickname, there is no musket-bearer or soldier in their logo. On the home jersey, there is a spiky green stripe, and on the away jersey, the stripe is gold-colored. The team name appears on both.

5. What United Hockey League (UHL) team has a nickname which refers to an animal that does not exist?

Answer: Rockford IceHogs

In nature, there is no pig or hog that lives on ice sheets or glaciers. The hockey team's name is most likely a play on the expression "puck hog." It's a figure of speech for a player who goes not give up the puck or pass it, but insists on barreling ahead until he has a chance to score.

6. What was the name of the United Hockey League (UHL) from 1991 to 1997?

Answer: Colonial Hockey League

7. What American Hockey League (AHL) team's name contains that of their home state, spelled backwards?

Answer: Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben Knights

Ak-Sar-Ben backwards is Nebraska. A team by that name was first formed in the late 1930s. Omaha business leaders picked the name as a way to attract attention to the city in the wake of the Great Depression.

8. Of the following American Hockey League (AHL) teams, which was once part of the International Hockey League (IHL)?

Answer: Grand Rapids Griffins

After the IHL closed down, the Grand Rapids team was absorbed into the AHL. It did not change its nickname or location.

9. Of the following East Coast Hockey League (ECHL) teams, which did not play in their state's capital city?

Answer: Dayton Bombers

The capital of Ohio is Columbus. The Bombers are affiliated with Columbus' National Hockey League (NHL) team, the Blue Jackets.
