Expansion Contest: The Winner is...

Hello everyone and a Happy Sunday to you all! Sorry I haven't posted here in a while I've been caught up things. Every day I think to myself, "I want/need to make some new concepts or write a new blog post." but when I actually find the time to do it, sitting on my computer is the last thing I want to do. A lot of you have sent me emails with concepts, requests, etc. and I have gotten your emails, I just haven't had the time to respond. I will soon enough!

I also want to apologize for taking such a long time to get the results of the Expansion Contest but I have the winner for you today!

I would also like to take a moment to thank everyone for participating in this contest. Whether that meant submitting entries, voting, or just stopping by to take a look, we appreciate it!

Now time for the big news... The 2012 NHL Expansion Contest winner is....

USA Champion....

Ryan Haslett!

Ryan's Seattle Metros concept shut out Scott D.'s Hartford concept 5-0!

Canada champion...

Dave Campbell!

This one was tied until the very end when Dave broke ahead defeating my Hamilton concept 3-2. Congrats Dave!

Ryan and David now go head to head in the finals and need your vote! The vote ends Wednesday, September 5 at Midnight. The winner will receive an entire post featuring some of their concepts!

Also I've had some down time this weekend to work on concepts and just relax. That means I'll (hopefully) get a long overdue, big post written and published! Maybe even two. Have a good weekend, everyone!

Round 1 Results: Round 2 Voting Begins!

Hello everyone! Once again I want to apologize for the lack of posts and updates recently. I've been incredibly busy and haven't had much free time. Today (only 3 days late) I have the results of Round 1 of the Expansion contest! I would also like to thank everyone that participated or voted in the contest.

Note: If you do not see your name listed that unfortunately means you didn't receive any  votes. Thanks for participating, though!
