The Hahalua is of great importance to the Hawaiian culture, to which we bring into the league in every single game. Before every single game starts if it's at home or at an away game the mascot will come with us to do the Haka. Which is a war ceremonial dance, it is to put fear into our enemies. He gets involved in every way we can bring back and keep our history going. He makes sure that our history is never forgotten and that it's always celebrated. While he may look goofy because he is a mascot, he is the symbol of not just Honolulu culture but all of Hawaii’s culture. He brings every single Hawaiian together. He allows every single Hawaiian to remember the past generations and their celebrations. Their struggles and their hard-fought victories. The Hahalua is of myth and of stories but, to us he is real. He is the symbol for us and our past generations. He is the hope for the future generations. He is the heart and soul of every member of the team and of every single person of Hawaiian descent, he is their future. In summary, Our mascot is Honolulu Hawaii.
