First off, apologies for the delay in drawing the winners for the Five Reasons You Love Hockey Contest but they've all been notified and will hopefully have a better chance of getting their great gear than Godd Till did. Second, if you haven't read all 25 entries then I suggest you do so as soon as possible. They tell a tale of how some came to love the game and it's really interesting to see where the reasons overlap.
Among the most commonly cited reasons was playoff hockey and I think this first round has run the gamut of examples of why it's such a great time of the year. I e-mailed the winners so please check it and let me know that you got it. Thanks to everyone that participated in what turned out to be a great exercise. Thank God I decided not to make it judged because there's a lot of great writing in there.
Anyway, without further ado, the winners:
- Fleet Fox - The Pucking Hilarious t-shirt
- Loser Domi - The Doug Gilmour bobblehead to join her Eric Lindros bobblehead
- Plea From A Cat Named Felix - The Wendel Clark moustache

YEEE HAW.
Stoked about this free shirt. I have yet to even see the Grabbo Grabbo Hey design, though. Wonder if I might get a Hackey Night shirt instead.
"Defense! Defense! Common! Do you call that blowing!?"
Waitaminute.
Grabbo Grabbo Hey is the Ramones one?
"Defense! Defense! Common! Do you call that blowing!?"
Strange name.
Anyway, still keen on the Hackey Night. If not, GGH is cool.
"Defense! Defense! Common! Do you call that blowing!?"
Talk to Likely, I bet he doesn’t care.

Oh Jussi, I don’t know what it means in Finnish, but I love that your jersey says “COCO”.
Can it before I drive this truculence through your faceulence and put you in an ambulance.

SCORE!
Lil Lindros has been a bit lonely. He needed a bobble brother.
Great writing all around!
Article1: "I WANT HER TO BE A PRINCESS! THIS MAKES HER LOOK LIKE A SLUT!"
My facial hair is patchy at best
The Wendel Clark Moustache will help solve that problem.
Just to be sure, this was an extra unworn moustache right?

If that was the case it would have been the first place prize.
