This cache-series introduces you to the world of NHL-ice hockey.
Series consists of four caches altogether: the first two caches are easy traditional caches called the Unknown Team 1 and the Unknown Team 2. After you have found these two, you can go after two a bit harder caches; a mystery cache called the Unknown Team 3 and a mystery bonus cache called the Hockey Hall of Fame.
There are two different tasks you need to accomplish to get through the whole series.
Firstly, you have to find the first two caches and then solve the puzzle and think were on earth is the third cache, the Unknown Team 3.
Secondly, you need to get N and E coordinates given in every Unknown Team cache in order to find your way to the Hockey Hall of Fame.
In every cache description, there is a piece of knowledge about the National Hockey League. There are also separate instructions at the same pages concerning the cache in question.
When Wayne Gretzky was traded from Edmonton Oilers to Los Angeles Kings in 1987 Esa Tikkanen came one of the most important players in post Gretzky Edmonton with Jari Kurri. Edmonton won the Stanley Cup same year, while Tikkanen shadowed opposite players like Gtretzky and Kurri made goals. Gretzky´s immortal thought about how he would like to make his careers last goal as “a rebound from Tikkanen´s ass” is perhaps back from these days.

The Hockey Hall of Fame
To find this cache you first have to find caches Unknown Team 1, Unknown Team 2 and Unknown Team 3. From all these caches you find out the parts of the coordinates to this cache. A very observant geocacher will notice a small confirmation of the cache when reaching the right coordinates. The cache is a 1,1 litre container.
In The Hockey Hall of Fame every players biography and statistics are introduced. Feel free to introduce your best abilities as a geocacher here in The Hall of Fame.
The Hockey Hall of Fame was established in 1961 and is located nowadays in Bank of Montreal in downtown Toronto. All NHL trophies, including The Stanley Cup are held there while they aren´t with the winners. Jari Kurri was nominated as a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame in year 2001. He is still the only Finn member. You can see the members of the Hockey Hall of Fame from link under.
