This site was conceived and designed by myself who originally had
an idea for a Hockey Trivia game. One thing led to another and here
I am. How I got here was 2 years of data input from various books,
news articles and the internet. We have not scanned in any statistical
information. All facts and references, have been verified for accuracy,
and the presentation of those facts have been created by me. Facts
cannot be copyrighted, at least according to my Lawyer.
It
is also not my intent to infringe on anyone elses copyright information.
So if we have accidentally done so, all we ask is that you prove
the infringement by providing all of the relavent information, which
would include the original document, the name of the originator,
date of origin and copyright information. If we agree that there
is an infringement we will gladly remove the article in question,
or give you the proper credit. The one thing I do readily admit
to using without permission are the team logos. I use these for
identification purposes only. The NHL or the individual teams have
not licensed their logos for use on this site. If any team or the
NHL wishes them removed, all they have to do is request it, and
I will remove them immediately.
Our
goal is to be recognized as one of the best sites for historical
information on the NHL, be that statistics, biographies or records.
You can help. If you have, or know of a site that compliments this
one, let us know. If you have information that can make our site
more accurate, again, please let us know.
If
you choose to use any information on this site for your own site,
all we ask is that you give us credit and link back to our site.
Now
having said what we want to say, here is what our lawyers have to
asked us to say:
