Thanks again for your support, get ready for Thursday’s game! Goat Canucks Goat!

This just in…151!!!

WHAT?! The new goat tally is at 151 purchased as of this afternoon….Words cannot even describe Vancouver Canucks fans. You are seriously the greatest fans in the world! We’ll get on resizing the goat-o-meter target point…for now lets just admire the current exploding goat-o-meter.

We’re on Canucks.com!

Derek Jory from Canucks.com has written an unreal article about us. Thanks so much Derek, this is huge!

An Excerpt:

“When Joel Nagtegaal was a small fry whipping around the neighborhood with a hockey stick, his dad taught him an important lesson that really stuck.

Always ask the other kids to play and if they don’t have a stick, we’ll get them one.

It was through that generosity that Nagtegaal developed a pay it forward attitude towards life, an attitude that is now benefiting people who suffer from poverty, hunger, disaster, and injustice.

Nagtegaal, a student at the University of the Frasier Valley, and a few buddies from his roller-hockey team were sitting around a few weeks ago mulling over who would grow the meanest playoff beard.

That led to playoff goatees, which led to playoff goats and Goat Canucks Goat was born…”

Another Successful game

Another great day, another great Canuck win, another group of goats purchased! The approximate goat count is up to 74…well 75 now, I just bought one. Hopefully we’ll hear some great news from CRWRC with some more accurate numbers that should surpass our approx. numbers so far…so be sure to check the site tomorrow, assuming we have the update!

Thanks again to everyone! You are all making this a huge success in helping families and communities across the world from us.

Update

Big game tonight in St. Louis, be sure to check out today’s game preview courtesy of canucks.com.

We updated our goat-o-meter this morning, thanks for all the emails and facebook message letting us know you purchased a goat! We have been in contact with CRWRC and they will be keeping us updated on official numbers very soon, so watch for that goat meter to keep on rising! Even when we get the official numbers, keep letting us know if you are buying a goat, we love to know who is supporting this wonderful cause!

Thanks again for your support, you are all amazing… follow us on twitter tonight during the game, GOAT CANUCKS GOAT!

(We are at almost 4000 pageviews on our site! unreal, keep spreading the word!)

Goat Count Update

So we are estimating an approx. 54 goats at this time. Honestly, we think it’s way higher, but we don’t want to over estimate just yet. We are waiting to hear back on some more official numbers from CRWRC, who as also been kind enough to post our info on their site as well! Between the TV, Radio and Newspaper coverage, we could easily be well over 100. The approx. 54 is just the ones we know about without hearing from CRWRC!

This has grown to be a huge rallying of people from all over the world wanting to help donate to the cause, we just want to thank everyone again for their support and donations. It was an unreal game last night despite shaw cable cutting off the last 2 minutes! baaa baaaa….

Some people on facebook are saying “it’s too late”, it’s not too late! Canucks are still goin strong, and you can still help support 3rd World Countries with your donation! We did receive some Paypal donations last night! Thank you! All of that money will be forwarded directly to CRWRC towards the purchase of more goats!

Next game is Sunday, April 19 @ 4pm in St. Louis! Goat Canucks Goat!
