The Wooden Barrel

**Current Streak** | Retrievers, 7 (1983-present)

**The Wooden Barrel** is a rivalry trophy awarded since 1974 to the winner of the season series between the Maplewood Retrievers and the White Bear Lake Braves of the East Metro Hockey League. In years where the season series is tied, whichever team has scored more goals in their meetings wins the Barrel.

Currently, Maplewood holds the Barrel, having won it back in 1983 and holding it the following 6 years to lead the trophy series, 10-6.

## History

Both the Retrievers and the Braves are charter members of the East Metro League, having won a combined total of 8 East Metro League Titles.

As the rivalry grew stronger, in 1973 one local newswriter described the Retrievers and Braves as two teams who simply do not like each other, and who "roll out the barrel" in every meeting of theirs. That phrase caught on quickly, with both teams introducing the Wooden Barrel as their rivalry trophy the following season.

Although neither team has ever won the Kellogg Cup, the Goldies outpace the Braves in East Metro League Titles (7-4) and Super Series appearances (5-3). The Goldies and the Braves have met in the playoffs twice, with the Goldies and White Bear each winning a meeting.
Philippines

The Philippines debuted in TESCO4, where they sent the song "Can't Help Falling In Love With You" by Daniel Padilla, failing to qualify to the final, coming 7th (last) in their semi final with 131 points.

### Culture

#### Traditions

Minnesota Amateur Hockey League

**Most Titles** | Eveleth Redbirds (7)

The **Minnesota Amateur Hockey League** is a North American amateur ice hockey league founded in 1915. The MAHL is the umbrella organization covering 18 Sub-Leagues: the Blue Earth Hockey League, Central Hockey Association, East Metro Hockey League, Granite Hockey League, Hennepin Hockey League, Iron Range Hockey League, Itasca Hockey Association, Lake Superior Hockey League, Northeast Hockey Association, Northland Hockey League, North Metro Hockey League, Red River Hockey League, South Metro Hockey League, Southwest Hockey Association, St. Croix Hockey League, Twin Cities Hockey League, Valley Hockey League and West Metro Hockey League.

Although the league's roots are in Minnesota (where the vast majority of its teams still play), the MAHL has since expanded to the neighboring states of Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, & Iowa as well as the Canadian provinces of Ontario & Manitoba.

Each league's top 4 teams qualify for a league-wide playoff tournament which begins in regions, with 4 teams advancing from each region. Those teams then move on to the Super Series, a weekend long tournament of the top 4 teams from each region competing for the leagues grand prize, the Kellogg Cup. The Super Series is held every other year at either Met Center in Bloomington (home of the NHL's Minnesota North Stars) or the St. Paul Civic Center (home of the WHA's Minnesota Fighting Saints).

## Teams

All teams are based in Minnesota unless otherwise noted. As each season covers part of two years, all founding dates are listed as the second year in the team's inaugural season.

## Trophies

* Kellogg Cup
* Tschida Trophy
* MAHL Rivalry Trophies
Chippewa Falls Chippewas

The **Chippewa Falls Chippewas** are a team of the St. Croix Hockey League, where they have played as a charter member since the league's inaugural 1978-79 season. Based in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, the Chippewas play their home games at the 800-seat Chippewa Area Ice Arena.

## History

The Chippewas are one of six teams based in the state of Wisconsin, joining their St. Croix league-mates the Eau Claire Rubber Kings, River Falls Rapids and Menomonie Sawyers as well as the Superior Lakers of the Lake Superior Hockey League and the La Crosse Brewers of the Valley Hockey League.

The Chippewas name references the city's name and the Chippewa River which runs through town.

In their 10 seasons of play, the Chippewas have never qualified for the Kellogg Cup playoffs.

### Rivalry Trophies

#### The Tire

The Chippewas compete against their rivals the Eau Claire Rubber Kings for The Tire, decided by the winner of each season series (or, when the season series is tied, who scored more goals between the two teams). The Tire is made in Eau Claire (the inspiration for the Rubber Kings name), and whichever team holds the Tire gets to paint its hubcap in their color as long as they hold it (Chips gold or Kings gray).

Currently, the Kings hold the Tire, having won the inaugural trophy series in 1983 and holding it the following five years. The Kings lead the all-time trophy series, 6-0.
France

France is one of the few countries to have participated in every single TESCO since TESCO1. Their best result was in TESCO2 when they came 8th with "Wear Your Love" by Aly Ryan.

France withdrew in TESCO6 due to both previous HoD's finding new countries instead.

France was played by Adam every season up until Season 5, when Adam lost the National Final and France's position went to Adil.

In TESCO7, they rejoined the contest and sent Edith Piaf with her song "La Foule". It scored an unfortunate 33 points, non qualified, and came last place overall.

Tschida Trophy

**Most Times Won** | C Brady Millen, Cloquet Broncos (Lake Superior) (4)

The **Tschida Trophy** (Pronounced Chee-tah) is the trophy awarded to the Most Valuable Player of the Minnesota Amateur Hockey League at the end of each season. Its namesake is Lou Tschida, the founder of the St. Anthony Vulcans, who played for them as a center from their inception until his retirement in 1929 and served as their head coach from their inception until his retirement in 1950, after which the Tschida Trophy was established to honor his legacy.

The first Tschida Trophy winner was St. Cloud Bear Cats center Kurt Schmidt, who won the trophy after leading his Bearcats to the Kellogg Cup Finals in 1951 (and would win it again in 1955, again after leading the Cats to the Cup Finals). As of 1985, former Cloquet Broncos center Brady Millen has won more Tschida Trophies than any other player, having won the award 4 times.

The Tschida Trophy's current holder is Apple Valley Cardinals right wing Karl Sexton, who was the South Metro Hockey League's scoring champion (and second in the MAHL in points) and led the Cardinals to their 1st Kellogg Cup Finals appearance (in which he scored).

Based in the St. James neighborhood of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, the Stags play their home games at the 1,500-seat St. James Civic Centre.

## History

The Stags nickname not only plays off the alliteration to St. James, but also references the large number of deer within the Winnipeg city limits.

The Stags are the MAHL's sixth Canadian team, as well as its third Manitoba team, joining the Steinbach Barbarians and in-city rivals the Winnipeg Monarchs and preceding the Morden Monsters and Winkler Wranglers.

### Culture

#### Seasons In The Sun

Since their inaugural 1984 season, St. James has played "Seasons In The Sun" by Winnipeg's own, Terry Jacks. Fans stand and sing together in unison.

Lyrics:

> *"Goodbye to you, my trusted friend, We've known each other since we were nine or ten, Together we've climbed hills and trees, Learned of love and ABCs, Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees, Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die, When all the birds are singing in the sky, Now that the spring is in the air, Pretty girls are everywhere, Think of me and I'll be there*
>
>
> *We had joy, we had fun, We had seasons in the sun, But the hills that we climbed, Were just seasons out of time*
>
>
> *Goodbye Papa, please pray for me, I was the black sheep of the family, You tried to teach me right from wrong, Too much wine and too much song, Wonder how I got along, Goodbye Papa it's hard to die, When all the birds are singing in the sky, Now that the spring is in the air, Little children everywhere, When you see them, I'll be there*
>
>
> *We had joy, we had fun, We had seasons in the sun, But the wine and the song, Like the seasons have all gone, We had joy, we had fun, We had seasons in the sun, But the wine and the song, Like the seasons have all gone*
>
>
> *Goodbye Michelle, my little one, You gave me love and helped me find the sun, And every time that I was down, You would always come around, And get my feet back on the ground, Goodbye Michelle, it's hard to die, When all the birds are singing in the sky, Now that the spring is in the air, With the flowers everywhere, I wish that we could both be there*

**Current Streak** | Moose, 3 (1986-present)

The **Kato Cup** is a rivalry trophy awarded since 1983 to the winner of the season series between the Mankato Moose and the North Mankato River Bats of the Blue Earth Hockey League. In years where the season series is tied, whichever team has scored more goals in their meetings wins the Cup.

Currently, the Moose hold the Cup, having won it back in 1986 and holding it the following 2 years. The Moose lead the all-time trophy series, 5-1.

## History

Mankato and North Mankato are neighboring cities, sitting on opposite sides of the Minnesota River. Because of North Mankato's population growth and the Moose having had several players from the city, rumors abounded about North Mankato getting a team, with said rumors often citing the Moose as the ones blocking such an expansion. Finally, MAHL hockey came to North Mankato in 1981 with the arrival of the River Bats, with the inevitable rivalry trophy series beginning in 1983.

Although neither team has ever won a Kellogg Cup, the Moose outpace the River Bats in Blue Earth League Titles (9-0) and Super Series appearances (8-0). The teams have met once in the playoffs; a 6-4 Moose victory in the first round of the 1986 postseason.

The Marauders have won 4 Hennepin League Titles (1983, 1984, 1985 & 1986).

### Culture

Bloomington Bears

The **Bloomington Bears** are a team of the West Metro Hockey League, where they have played as a charter member since the league's inaugural 1971-72 season. Based in Bloomington, Minnesota, the Bears play their home games at the 2,500-seat Bloomington Ice Garden, sharing a hometown and a home ice with their archrivals the Bloomington West Terriers.

## History

Before joining the West Metro League, the Bears played their first 13 seasons (1959-1971) as a member of the Twin Cities Hockey League, and as a member of its West Division from 1962-1971.

The Bears are named after the city's old high school of the same name.

### Culture

#### Traditions

Bloomington fans are known to say "Bear Down" as a sort of battle cry in support of their team. It has since become the official team motto of the Bears and you'd be sure to hear it on any Bloomington game day.

### The Curse of Benji

From their inaugural 1958-59 season until the 1973-74 season, the Bears' logo featured a smiling white bear next to the letter B, affectionately known as "Benji" to their fans. Fort the 1974-75 season, Benji was dropped from the logo to focus on the simple letter "B," much to the consternation of their hometown fans. The Bears' on-ice futility since the change (specifically, no playoff wins since then, only one playoff appearance since 1977, and being surpassed by the Terriers as Bloomington's most successful and popular team) led several fans to believe in the "Curse of Benji," meaning that the B's futility would continue until Benji was restored to the team's identity, either in the main or secondary logo or as a walk-around mascot.

With a redesigned Benji being introduced as the Bears' primary logo for 1987, the Bears' fortunes appear to have been reversed, winning The Bone three straight times and qualifying for two straight playoff berths.

### Rivalry Trophies

#### The Bone

The Bears compete with their in-city rivals the Bloomington West Terriers for The Bone, awarded to the team which wins their head-to-head series each year (or, if the teams are tied, the one with the higher goal differential).

Currently, the Bears hold the Bone, having won it for the first time in 1986 and holding it the following two years. The Terriers lead the all-time trophy series, 7-3.
Malta

Malta first debuted in TESCO3, where they almost took the victory but was narrowly taken over by the United Kingdom. In TESCO3, they used the song "Generation Why" by Conan Gray, getting them 2nd place with 101 points.

Conan represented the country again in TESCO4, coming third with "Checkmate", and would have represented Malta in TESCO5, however a new rule was implimented saying that all artists need to have some relation to the country they represent, which Conan did not, and instead went to represent Alaska.

Malta did not withdraw in TESCO5 though, instead they were represented by The Travellers with "Ersaq fil-Qrib", getting the nation their first ever non qualify, and their worst result.

## Voting Controversy in Edition 3

In TESCO3, where they recieved their astonishing 101 points and resulting in second place, they recieved an incredible 6 twelve-points, although they only recieved 29 points without those twelve points added on. In TESCO3, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Sweden and United Kingdom failed to submit their votes on time, resulting in their votes being done for them by a staff member, Adam. All six of these countries gave their twelve points to Malta, leading many to believe that this was unfair advantage given to Malta. According to Adam, these votes were done purely by the standered method used when a delegation fails to submit, however it is perculiar how all six of these countries gave their twelve points to Malta. Surprisingly, the United Kingdom did not recieve a single twelve point, and instead won through the power of ten-pointers.

## Auto-Qualification in Edition 3

In TESCO3, the owners decided to have two auto-qualifiers instead of one, however they did not know the best way to achieve this. In the end, they decided to see which participant could get the most people to join the server, and that person would join New Zealand in the grand finals. This person ended up being Malta's HoD, Arrie, who ended up auto-qualifying.

 TESCO5 | The Travellers - "Ersaq fil-Qrib"
Gabbie Hanna

**Gabbie Hanna** is one of the most participated artists in TESCO, being commonly sent by many countries during the period where artists didnt have to come from the country they represent. This is likely because of the large attention drawn to her after winning the first edition, when no rule was in place to prevent multiple countries sending the same artist.

Gabbie Hanna has two EPs, 2WAYMIRROR (6 Songs) & BAD KARMA (5 Songs) out, as well as 6 non-album singles. Out of her 17 song discography, 6 of her songs have been sent to TESCO.

In late 2019 and all throughout 2020, Gabbie Hanna has been in a lot of internet drama between her and several other internet personalities such as Trisha Paytas, Jessi Smiles, Alx James, and the entire drama channel community. She has addressed these and defended herself multiple times throughout this period, in several youtube videos and podcast episodes which she has also recieved backlash from.

Participation

PREVIOUS: TESCO3

NEXT: TESCO5

TESCO4 was hosted in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, United Kingdom following the victory of the United Kingdom in TESCO3.

This season is the first season to introduce National Finals, with Festival South Korea, UK: You Decide and Canada: Destination Eurovision. A fourth National Final for Japan nearly happened, Japan: Your Choice, but later on Japan withdrew when both applying members switched countries.

Despite being the 4th edition in the series, TESCO4 had the least amount of countries (not counting Bhutan). This is likely due to the large break that happened during TESCO3, leaving many players bored.

## Semi Finals

### Semi Final 1

After the voting had already taken place, Bhutan was disqualified from the contest. Had they not been disqualified, they would've came 5th in Semi Final 2 with 151 points, 88 from jury and 59 from the televote. This would've resulted in Bangladesh not qualifying.

## Grand Final

Russia, Alaska and the United Kingdom automatically qualified to the grand final.
