200!!

We just received word from CRWRC that we have reached the 200 goats mark! WOW! Thank you so much to everyone who has got a goat! We set the original goat-o-meter at 100 to have something to reach for and we have already doubled that after only one round. Can you imagine how many goats will be got by the time the Canucks win the Stanley Cup? Amazing!

On the updated map that shows which country people are visiting this website from, we have now reached every continent except Antarctica! We had our first hit from South America yesterday with hits from Brazil.

For all the Canucks fans who were not able to make it to the airport at 3:00am after the Canucks won on Tuesday, I can tell you it was a good time. The Canucks all drove out in their cars and many of them had their windows rolled down and honked their horns. The best reaction of the night goes to Kevin Bieksa who was hanging out of the backseat of a car driven by Kyle Wellwood and let on a huge “woohoo!” with a celebratory fist pump. It was definitely worth the 3 hours of sleep I got that night!

THANK YOU!

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…”

Wow, as of this morning, we have just hit 125 goats and exploded the goat-o-meter. THANK YOU! Everyone has been extremely generous towards this great cause, and all of you are making this a continued success.

We will up the goat-o-meter target amount soon, so we can get ready for the Canucks in round 2!

Game 4 and Goat Updates

HUGE game tonight! The Canucks are looking to complete their first 4 game sweep in franchise history. If the Canucks can keep Chris Mason’s beard at bay I think they have a great chance at winning tonight. Time to get out the brooms!

GOAT UPDATE: Goats that have been purchased as of Tuesday Morning: 78

At midnight each night, a program automatically updates a map that shows which countries people are visiting this website from. I love waiting till midnight each night to view the updated results. Monday, April 20 marked the highest number of visitors the site has ever had in one day. We added our first African country, Kenya, to the list of countries where people are visiting from. Other notable countries added to the list are: Holland and Bosnia Herzegovina. Two visits in Holland, one from Utrecht and one from The Hague. Very exciting.

If the Canucks can win the series tonight the goat-o-meter may explode!

Check out tonight’s game preview and follow us on twitter during the game tonight!

For those of you from the USA, you can purchase a goat on USA CRWRC page, there is a button on the right beside the Canadian button. Those of you from Canada, continue to use the now Canadian branded button on the right.

GOAT CANUCKS GOOOAAAAAAT!

CTV Clip

We’ll need to work on cropping the clip, but if you go here: CTV News – Apr. 19 @ 6pm and click to the time: 5:37 you should see the clip of us on the news! Again, we’ll try and trim it down, for now just fast forward!

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.

3-0 Series Lead!!!!

Vancouver Canucks 3, St. Louis Blues 2

The Canucks take a strangle hold on the series with a 3-2 victory in St. Louis! Game 4 is Tuesday at 5:00pm PST from St. Louis! All the Canucks have to do is go 13-12 for the remainder of the playoffs to win the Cup. Another victory = more goats. They are going to have so many goats in Africa it is going to be an epidemic. Wooooo!!!!

CTV News tonight at 6:00pm

A story on Goat Canucks Goat will be featured tonight at 6:00 on CTV News! Hopefully it will be during intermission at that point so you don’t have to flip between the game and the news. Game 3 in 31 minutes!
