Geocache Description:


The SQ in the cache name above signifies Spirit Quest, a project to distinguish those caches that are set in cemeteries or memorial gardens. We feel this is a good distinction to put on this type of cache and we like to do these types of caches. Please be respectful of the area, and observe their rules and posted hours. Michigan law states that you are only permitted to visit cemeteries dawn to dusk throughout the state unless other hours are posted. NOTE: The cache is not at the posted coordinates. You need to solve the puzzle to find the Cache. Also please be mindful of the area you are in and be respectful.

Terrance Gordon Sawchuk (December 28, 1929 – May 31, 1970) was a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender who played 21 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Detroit Red Wings, Boston Bruins, Toronto Maple Leafs, Los Angeles Kings and the New York Rangers. He won the Calder Trophy, earned the Vezina Trophy in four different seasons, was a four-time Stanley Cup champion, and was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame the year after his final season, one of only ten players ever for whom the three year waiting period was waived.

Sawchuk

At the time of his death, Sawchuk was the all-time leader among NHL goaltenders with 447 wins and with 103 shutouts. In the many decades following his death, his wins record has been surpassed by only five goaltenders, and his shutouts record has been surpassed by one goaltender, though Sawchuk will forever remain the all-time leader in wins and shutouts by goaltenders who played in the Original Six era. In 2017, Sawchuk was named one of the "100 Greatest NHL Players".
