As previously noted by a few other Grey Ducks teammates, the Minnesota mascot has a very colorful background (ironic for a grey duck). While our organization strives to be respectful to our opponents, our mascot has sent more people to the hospital than any member of the team. Despite this we keep them around because we believe in second chances. Also they happen to be the only person in the country that can fit into the Grey Duck suit we have and they work for free. By now our beloved mascot has been with the team longer than any other staff or player, including the founder of the team. Over that long career the Grey Duck mascot has an impressive statline of 27 opposing players sent to the hospital, 3 felony charges, 7 misdemeanors, 24,000 in property damage, 478 complaints filed (mostly for fowl language), 8 tackles, 0.5 backflips, and 0 selections for mascot of the year. As for how they represent our team?....Well, they really don’t, but golly do we love them anyway. I guess the mascot just takes care of all the aggression for us. Let’s hope they’re out there quacking for years to come (otherwise we may be forced to rebrand).
