I would have had a perfect score in the hockey category.
I would have whiffed on the "most Gordie Howe Hat Tricks" question. Probably would have guess Rick Tocchet. Had almost a 1000 points and almost 3000 penalty minutes. Oh the irony of Shanny now being in charge of player safety. With 2500 PIM he is no slouch either.
After some research on the Internet Tocchet is probably 2nd in Gordie Howe Hat Tricks. Made myself a list over at Hockey-Reference.com of all players which had a goal, an assist, and at least 5 PIM. After removing all instances in which players had 6 or 8 minutes (making it impossible for them to have had a 5 minute fighting major) and some sorting and grouping I found that Shanahan has the most with 24, and Tocchet is 2nd with 19.
Three caveats though: a) The list is only from 1987-88 to 2011-12 because the site doesn't have match data from before that time. b) I can't tell whether there was a fighting major at all in those penalty minutes. c) Tocchets number may even be deflated because in the three season before that data started he had 181, 284 and 288 PIM. On the other hand all of Shanahan's career games are covered by the data.
And no, I didn't waste my time with this, I did this research while listening to the radio of my hometown team beating the crap out of their opponents, both figuratively and literally, in Game 1 of round 2 in the austrian hockey league playoffs. Hopefully I can find video of the goalie fight.

Name that DOS game. A big thanks to Kevin for helping me with this.
Bonus Trivia: How many of these are sequel games? What are the original games?

Yes, but for starters, that doesn't look anything like the Doom 2 double barrel shottie. Secondly, that UI in no way resembles Doom 2. And that enemy isn't found anywhere in Doom 2.
Hell no. I thought it might be Hexen based on the guy in robes, but Hexen did not have a shotgun. Also, the status bar did not look like that. The problem is I know a lot of old DOS fps games with shotguns and a few with robed bad guys, but none with both. It's not Rise of the Triad, so I have no clue.
Nope. That particular enemy never was in Doom 2. The graphics also look to be more akin to the Build Engine than the Doom Engine. I'm just guessing here, but maybe it's Redneck Rampage?
I'll give you guys a hint: the game was developed by 3D Realms and Monolithic Productions and distributed by GT Interactive in May 1997 and came on 2 CDs.
Edit: Lou is correct that it's on the Build engine, but no it's not Redneck Rampage.
Here's some fun trivia, which game had the most CDs and how many where they?

Nope, RR had a different UI too. There's no meter indicating drunkenness.
EDIT: A-ha! It has to be Blood. The only other game I can remember from that time was Shadow Warrior (which also used the Build Engine), and that doesn't look like Shadow Warrior at all.

Redneck Rampage may have had that kind of weapon, but it didn't have that kind of enemy or environment.
If it's someone worth dating, they can help you beat it in just a few minutes. You can even play it on "Hey, not too rough" mode. Even though real men play on Ultra Violence.

Impressive! Although some you have the write franchise but wrong actual game or sequel.
Edit: Missed a page, haha. Edit 2: Looks like TheWhaleShark answered what I was trying to answer. I only knew it was Blood because of playing it a while back.

Also, SW was a terrible fucking game.
I think the most CDs was Wing Commander IV.
EDIT: OMG, I've never even HEARD of Blood.
