Another sports question tonight, but this one was a little more obscure: What is the Charlie Conacher Humanitarian Award? This is an award in the world of professional hockey that was named after NHL Hall of Famer Charlie Conacher. It was given to an NHL player who made an "outstanding contribution to humanitarian or community service projects". The award was given out annually from 1969 to 1984 and then retired by the NHL. A similar award has been given out since 1988, The King Clancy Memorial Trophy. It also goes to the top humanitarian in the NHL each year.

Tonight's question was a juicy sports statistic that would have flustered most other guides: What is Michigan's record vs Ohio State in men's ice hockey? It turns out that the Michigan Wolverines have owned the Ohio State Buckeyes in men's hockey. They have an all-time record of 65-30-11 against them. You can slice this series up in many ways and Michigan is dominant in all of them. 33-12-6 at home, 28-15-5 on the road, 4-2-11 in overtime, 4-3-0 on neutral ice, and 7-3-0 in the last 10 meetings.
