- With the 2019 NHL All Star weekend approaching, I wanted to recount the history of the league's mascots. From Al the Octopus to Gritty, I take you through decades of illustrious mascot history. Enjoy! Please pardon any historical inaccuracies; I did the best with the sources I encountered.

I saw a reality show about mascots and one man’s struggle to move up the ranks from a minor league hockey club’s mascot to the NHL mascot. I think he was trying to become the next Iceberg.
One mascot was an MLB mascot before becoming an NHL one. It’s Youppi!, the Montreal Canadiens’ mascot. Before the Habs took him, Youppi! was the mascot for the Montreal Expos, a baseball team
Wild wing is my favorite
Ahhh. Mascots: “Gritty stop knocking things over!”
Just saying Nordy is a bear if you look closely at the Wild logo it looks like a bear head the moon is the ear and the star is the eye
Speaking of mascots helping the community, my favorite hockey team the hometown Vancouver Canucks's mascot Fin is very affectionate towards children, having been a regular at Canuck Place, a hospice in Vancouver for terminally ill children run by the team.
I'm a volunteer mascot for a Junior A team. Compared to being a PA announcer, DJ & Play by Play guy, the mascot is incredibly fun. You have to remember that you're a living, yet mute cartoon character. So behave cartoonish and make kids laugh and give parents Kodak moments.
Some are really forced to exist while some other are correct, like Wild Wing who is the best NHL mascot.
Pushed the envelope for pro sports mascots, most definitely.
Carlton The Bear Toronto Maple Leafs Mascot Randy West Favorite NHL Mascot.
Nice job man
Thank you! I hope to follow this up in the near future with a look at AHL and/or ECHL mascots.
Great vid lots to learn
Much appreciated, glad you enjoyed it!
I dig the intro
Tommy hawk actually debuted in 2001
Wait so for that fancy intro I guess you could be called, Twisted Wrister Mister?
Awesome video man watched it all!! Learned a lot I didn’t know
Great job, bud.
Thanks! I've learned a thing or two about production techniques in the few years between this video and now. You'll see it in tomorrow's video - NHL Mascot Rankings!
11:09 is funny
New Jersey Devils mascot is cool
And the dumbest
THE VIDEO WAS SO GREAT! IDK WHY BUT IT REMINDED ME OF UTREE OR FIVEPOINTS LOL 11/10
Hahah thanks dude! When I was listening to my audio, I was like, "Wait a sec, isn't this a signature 'Tree vocal intonation?" I appreciate the complement though, as I love both of those channels. I'd say UTree is my favorite TH-camr, at least for sports.
Gritty is awesome
6:26 40 feet is one siren head
The Wild’s logo is in the shape of a bear.
*now waiting for "echl mascots: a history"*
Omg...if I can find enough source material, that will be terrific -- great idea! At the least, I can shoot for a video about the AHL mascots.

Holler back?
