NHL Hockey Team - Challenge Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

HazMatter: As my good friend retiredprof indicated with his recent archives of all his challenges and in light of geocaching's recent changes to the publishing rules, I am archiving all of my challenge caches. I have two boys and not enough time to learn an entire new rule system. I think maybe geocaching has moved outside of the fun and more to the rules.

I am sad that I have to do this. For those who have already begun any of my challenge caches, please note that you can still log archived caches. If you have any problems with this decision, please contact the geocaching authorities so that your suggestions may be considered.
Cheers

Geocache Description:

The above coordinates ARE the location of the cache. However, to log this cache as a find you must meet the “Challenge” requirements documented below. I was surprised at how few NHL Team Names are out there.

Your challenge if you so choose is to find at least 15 caches with different NHL Hockey Team Names in them. Not the city or state but the identity of the team (of course if you find a cache called the San Jose Sharks or Anaheim Ducks that would be perfect but not necessary the Sharks or Ducks will suffice).

In addition you can use the non plural of the words for teams such as “Ranger Rick” would qualify for the Rangers and “Coyote Bluff” would qualify for the Coyotes.

In addition to finding 15 different NHL Hockey Team names please find at least (4) different types of caches or categories (icons) when posting your finds. (Traditional, Multi, Unknown, Letterbox, Web, Virtual, Events. etc). This gives the challenge that extra star boost to the difficulty.

The NHL Hockey Team Names you can choose from are:

AVALANCHE, BLACKHAWKS, BLUE JACKETS, BLUES, BRUINS, CANADIENS, CANUCKS, CAPITALS, COYOTES, DEVILS, DUCKS, FLAMES, FLYERS, ISLANDERS, HURRICANES, KINGS, LIGHTNING, MAPLE LEAFS, OILERS, PANTHERS, PENGUINS, PREDATORS, RANGERS, RED WINGS, SABRES, SENATORS, SHARKS, STARS, THRASHERS, WILD

You have no time limit on finding the caches. In fact, you may have already completed the cache requirements. But, if you haven’t… now you have some target caches to find.
