Win a Hughes Mini Helmet!

 

Someone with too much time on their hands had an idea. Put together a Hughes League Trivia Contest and give away an EHFL mini helmet for the top prize. Seems like a fun way to get ready for the season. So here we are!

The details... below you will find 20 Hughes League-related multiple choice questions. Some appear to be easy, others not so much. Below those are three bonus questions. Your challange is as follows:

Answer all the 20 questions correctly and win the helmet shown above and the everlasting respect of your fellow degenerates owners. 

Answer all 20 questions correctly PLUS the bonus questions and win the helmet and a refund of your league fees for 2026 plus the respect blah, balh, blah.

👉If nobody answers all 20 correctly, the person with the most correct answers will win a rather dubious consolation prize, a package of peanut butter-cheese crackers and $10 in waiver cash. 

If nobody f'ing enters the contest, which I suspect is the most likely outcome 😒, I'm taking the waiver cash (and the damn crackers) for myself. 

The answers to all the questions can be found either in the Yearbook or among the websites I built/fixed over the summer which can be reached by clicking the Yearly Bests and Websites link over to the right. 

Please submit your answers via email (commishbob@gmail.com) with the question number and your letter choice for your answer. Let's make the deadline the day prior to the draft, September 6th. In the event of a tie, earliest email wins.
