Hockey terminology

[AATSEEL Exec Dir]

Hi,

I have some questions about hockey terminology in Russian and would
appreciate any help (off-list, probably, since I doubt this will interest
most SEELANGtsy):

1.  In the title <XOKKEJ.  KUBOK MXL>, what does MXL stand for?

2.  What is the word for "quarterfinals" and for "semifinals"?

3.  What do the abbreviations in the following team names stand for:

        TORPEDO Ja (one letter, "ja" or "ia" or however you want to
transliterate it)

        TORPEDO NN (two letters)

        TORPEDO U-K (two letters separated by a dash)

        METALLURG Mg (two letters, capital and small)

        SKA (three letters)

        TsSKA (four letters, the first being the "ts" character)

Thanks for any help anyone can provide!

Jerry Ervin
