SCF's Birthday Contest - March 3rd

[reoddai]

Happy 9th Birthday SCF!

The Hockey team will be hosting a two part contest this year.

CONTEST 1

Starting at 3pm (-5gmt), there will be a trivia contest in the chat. We'll have 99 trivia questions. For each one you get right, you'll get 1 point.

CONTEST 2

Show off a card of a player who has the same birthday as SCF. BUT you have to show it off in a way that best shows the idea of "BIRTHDAY!".

You can edit the image, or take a photo while holding something birthday-ish. whatever you want! A full list of players who have a birthday on March 3rd can be found here:
http://www.hockey-reference.com/friv...?month=3&day=3
Here's a list of those players with at least 30 games played:
Rk Player Born From To Pos
1 Brian Leetch 1968 1988 2006 D
2 Kelly Miller 1963 1985 1999 LW
3 Stephane Robidas 1977 2000 2012 D
4 Al Secord 1958 1979 1990 LW
5 Alexander Semin 1984 2004 2012 LW
6 Bob Kudelski 1964 1988 1996 RW
7 Colton Orr 1982 2004 2012 RW
8 Joey Johnston 1949 1969 1976 LW
9 Mickey Volcan 1962 1981 1984 D
10 Stephen Kraftcheck 1929 1951 1959 D
11 Richard Zemlak 1963 1987 1992 RW
12 Brett Festerling 1986 2009 2012 D
13 Joey Tetarenko 1978 2001 2004 RW
14 Jack Gordon 1928 1949 1951 C
15 Martin Prochazka 1972 1998 2000 RW
16 Norm Mann 1914 1939 1941 RW/C
17 Zdenek Nedved 1975 1995 1997 RW

Here's my example:

If you don't have a card of any of these players, but still want to celebrate the birthday, just post a card that screams "BIRTHDAY!". The SCF hockey team will then vote on the card image that best shows the idea of "BIRTHDAY!" with preference going to players from the list above.

If your card best shows "BIRTHDAY!", you'll get 7 points. The runner up will get 5 and third place will get 3 points.

PRIZES!

At the end of the day, We'll count up your points from the Trivia and the "Birthday Card" contest. For every point you earned today, you'll get 5 CC. The person with the most points, instead of CC, will win.... a Panini Dominion Jimmy Howard Autograph (/9 for SCf's 9th Brithday)! The Detroit goalie who was drafted in the 2003 Draft, the same year that SCF was created!


Rules:
Staff are not eligible to participate in this contest.
If you have received a major infraction (3 points or more) in the past 30 days, you are also not eligible

So go a head and post your birthday photos here! The hockey staff team are heading over to the chat to get the trivia started! See you there!

Might that card be a Portal reference? :)

Might that card be a Portal reference? :)

Yes.

If it helps you when designing your cards, the Hockey staff has been known to really enjoy subtle clues and references.

Cheers,
