I was really worried he'd be put out to stud when the Nationals brought out those freakish birds.

Vancouver Canucks-Fin
Toronto Maple Leafs-Carlton the Bear (seen here confronting Matthew Barnaby)
Those three are off the top of my head, but here's a list of NHL mascots.
edit: Add me to the list rejoicing at the new life of that Youppi! has found with Les Canadiens.

The Flames have been claiming for years that Harvey the Hound was the NHL's first full-time mascot, joining the team in 1984.

Reposted on: 20.9.12 1325.15 | Harvey the Hound may be the first mascot in the NHL, but he didn't join when the Flames moved to Calgary.
I only know this because in the 2003-4 season, I went to a game which proclaimed it was Harvey the Hound's 20th birthday. The 16th of February, 1984 was the debut of Harvey.
Why this knowledge remains in my head is a mystery to me. | | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
