How well do Jeopardy! contestants know their hockey? Any self-respecting NHL fan would know the answer to this hockey question, but it was still a $1000 question under the “You’re an All-Star” heading.

Our contestant avoids embarassment and gets this one right for a stack. With a record 21 All-Star appearances to his name, the artist also known as Mr. Hockey: Gordie Howe!

(We love that Alex Trebek's hero is Gordie Howe.)

Since Jeopardy! is such a wide-ranging general knowledge game, sports occasionally factors into certain questions, and not every contestant is well-equipped for the topic. We’ve seen some cringe-worthy misses before... but not this time!

Another NHL question was asked in a recent episode of Jeopardy! from last month, but we think that one was admittedly hard to miss. At this point, you don’t have to know your hockey to know about Gritty, right?
