 8. Answers to some frequently asked questions:

 Q: Why are the Montreal Canadiens called the Habs?
 A: Most of the team during the 40-50's was made up of people who lived in
and around Montreal. Hence they were called "Les Habitants" (natives of
Montreal). This was then shortened to the Habs.

 Q: Why is the Montreal Canadiens logo a large C with an H within it?
 A: In 1914-15, the Canadiens logo consisted of C with an A within it to
signify Club Athletique Canadien (CAC). The next year, CAC no longer
existed and it was changed to what it is now to signify Club de Hockey.

 Q: What is the most informative hockey publication?
 A: The Hockey News is preferred by most North American hockey fans. It is
a weekly journal with up-to-date info.

 Q: How does a 5-minute power-play count in the penalty killing stats in
the NHL?
 A: If X goals are scored, then the team gets credit for X goals in X+1
chances.

 Q: How is +/- computed in the NHL?
 A: First, +/- only applies to skaters. Except for a power-play goal, when
a goal is scored, each skater on the ice for the scoring team is given a
+, and each skater on the ice for the other team is given a -. Short-
handed goals do count for +/-.

 Q: What is the five-hole?
 A: The space between a goalie's pads. There are five major scoring zones:
(1) upper left corner of goal, (2) upper right, (3) lower left, (4) lower
right, and (5) five-hole.

 Q: What is the meaning of throwing an octopus on the ice?
 A: This tradition began in Detroit in the 1950's when two best-of-seven
series were required to win the Stanley Cup. Every time Detroit won a
game, an octopus with one less arm was thrown on the ice.

 Q: Who was the first woman to play in an NHL game?
 A: Manon Rheaume, a 20-year-old goaltender, became the first woman ever
to play in an NHL game on September 23, 1992 when she started in net for
the expansion Tampa Bay Lightning in an exhibition against the St. Louis
Blues. Rheaume played the first period before 8,223 at the 10,400-seat
Expo Hall on the Florida State Fairgrounds and allowed two goals on nine
shots. She left with the score tied 2-2, although the Lightning ultimately
lost the game, 6-4.

 Q: Who is Gil Stein and where has he been?
 A: Stein is an attorney that served in the John Ziegler administration
for 15 years as an NHL vice president and general counsel. He was born in
Philadelphia in 1928 and is a former prosecutor. Before joining the NHL
front office, Stein was vice president and chief executive officer of the
Philadelphia Flyers and president of the Maine Mariners of the American
Hockey League.

 Q: What is the richest contract in NHL history?
 A: Mario Lemieux, the superstar center of the Pittsburgh Penguins, signed
the richest contract in NHL history, a seven-year deal believed to be
worth about $42 million. Lemieux will earn between $6 million and $7
million a year, nearly twice as much as any other player in the league.

9. Miscellaneous:

 For field hockey discussions, go to the newsgroup rec.sport.hockey.field.
 For skating discussions, go to the newsgroup rec.skate.

 Some sites get another hockey group, called clari.sports.hockey. c.s.h
consists of the UPI feed for all UPI news articles that are related to
hockey, including game results, summaries, scores, standings, etc.  Much
of the information in the NHL team news section comes from this newsgroup.

  The rec.sport.hockey Frequently Asked Questions posting is posted semi-
monthly, usually on the 1st and 15th of each month, during the hockey
season.  This file was originally created by Tom Wilson, who posted it
during the 1991-92 season.  It was taken over by Mitch McGowan for the
1992-93 season.

Welcome to misc.consumers.house.  Many of the questions that come up here,
quite possibly including yours, have been covered before.
A collection of discussions on various topics is available from the
misc.consumers.house archive server.  To learn about the archive server, send
an empty piece of mail to:
    [e-mail]
(You should be able to just reply to this posting.)

If for some reason you have problems, send mail the address that you get by
substituting 'admin' for 'archive' in the above address.  (Why do I state
this in such an odd way, rather than just writing out the address?  I'm
tired of people carelessly sending mail to the wrong place!)
If you have to send mail to 'admin', be sure to include every conceivable
piece of information that I might need to reply to you, up to and including
a phone number where you will accept collect calls.  If the daemon can't
figure out how to get mail back to you, I probably won't be able to, either.

8)  HP-UX publicly available software from InterWorks.

[ Dave Shaw maintains a library of publicly available HP-UX related software
  on behalf of the InterWorks User Group.  Dave Shaw can be reached at
  [phone], or via E-Mail at [e-mail].
  The following is provided by Dave Shaw, the InterWorks Librarian. This
  is the last full list he posted (#10) plus the latest updates (to #13).
  I've removed the detailed descriptions for space; see the README
  mentioned below for details. ]

The following is a list of new (or updated) entries (since my last posting),
of UX-related software on the InterWorks library node (iworks.ecn.uiowa.edu--
128.255.18.10). Note that everything is available via anonymous ftp-- in
"comp.hp"). The README there contains a complete list of the available
software. Nearly all of the following is also available on a CD for
$75.00. For ordering information contact Carol Relph.

All the following is suitable for the 700 series machines, and I
have started to verify that. Executables are included in some packages.
If you take a package and find that you must build an executable (or do
some porting) for your machine and/or OS level, I would appreciate
hearing about your work and receiving a copy of the executable you built.

Note that I have had very little involvement in the writing or packaging
of any of the items on the list-- they are the result of the work of many
other people. In particular, note that the available binaries have not
been compiled by me. If you are concerned about running binaries compiled
by someone else, build them yourself with the available source. Also note
that individual authors may include text regarding the rights of others
to use and distribute their code.

Thanks to all the contributors.
