If I'm lucky, this will be the most exciting announcement between now and the Trade Deadline. Behind the Net is looking to add to its crack writing staff by way of a writing contest.

We'll accept submissions until March 16, 2011. We'll probably do something like have the participants in the 'League of Extraordinary Statisticians' look them over and pick a winner.

Grand Prize: A high-paying writing gig at Behind the Net

Other Prizes:

- DVDs of Forgotten Miracle, The Story of the 1960 Olympic Team

- Size XL T-Shirts from Defunct NHL Teams

- I might call in some favors for random swag from some Western Conference teams
