"Goat Canucks Goat" is back

As the Vancouver Canucks continue on their playoff run, you can also donate to a worthy cause

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Once again this year, you can not only support the Vancouver Canucks by watching their games, but you can also do something good for someone less fortunate.

"Goat Canucks Goat" is back after becoming a Vancouver tradition.

The group started by Joel Nagtegaal several years ago is up and running again as the team makes their playoff run.

He says they hope to "campaign to encourage people to buy one goat for every Canucks victory in the playoffs, or for, if you can't afford it for each victory... for each round that the Canucks win in the playoffs."

So far, they have enough for 14 goats at $35.00 each.

He wasn't even going to get it going this year, but after nearly two dozen emails, he thought he'd put the site up once again.

And all the goats are bought locally. In the last several years, two thousand goats have been bought and donated to needy families in Kenya.
