Our hockey team recently beat the N0. 1 ranked team in our league. This is a huge deal because we are not cur­rently ranked.

Here’s the break down:

Both games were away games. Both games went into dou­ble over­time. Both games ended in a shootout. Both games tech­ni­cally count as a tie for the teams due to league rules. Our team won the shootout, but tech­ni­cally tied both games.Com­ing up with a head­line that was catchy, but not mis­lead­ing proved to be dif­fi­cult. We thought clev­erly insert­ing the words ‘Win’ or ‘Won’ could be interesting.

Two of a kind

But we thought it might get con­fus­ing or ignored.

So, how would you have titled this story? This is a tabloid sized news­pa­per so it favors shorter headlines.

The local news­pa­per ran the story with the head­line “Twice as Nice”.
