I’m slightly biased but I believe Charlie Horse to be the best mascot in Junior Hockey and I’ve seen hesitation from some kids in their reaction around him and his appearance is nothing but friendly. Hunter the lynx looks like he’s ready to steal food right off your plate with those fangs and those eyes are enough to creep out grown adults. I will admit Hunter could beat me any day in a dance-off, look at those moves.
