SEATTLE \u2014 Buoy, Gritty, and Youppi, oh my!<\/p>\n

The NHL mascots descended on the Kraken Community Iceplex Thursday for the Mascot Summer Showdown.<\/p>\n

The day was full of antics, pranks, and hockey as the mascots played against Kraken youth hockey players. The 8 and 10-year-olds faced off against each other before a mascot versus youth hockey game.<\/p>\n

“We have mascots here from all across the NHL,” said Seattle Kraken Entertainment Assistant Hailey Robinson. “Pretty great turnout, which we were stoked about.”<\/p>\n

“To get all of Buoy’s friends from across the country and also some friends from Canada out to experience Seattle was great,” Robinson added.<\/p>\n

The event got going while across the city, the NHL Club Business Awards<\/a> were held in Seattle for the first time.<\/p>\n

More than 1,300 representatives gathered for the conference, including attending a Mariners game and a private event at Climate Pledge Arena too.<\/p>\n

“Our goal is always to get Buoy out into the community at youth hockey,” Robinson said. “I know that’s true for a lot of these other mascots in their own markets.”<\/p>\n

“It’s really fun to get them all together,” Robinson added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SEATTLE \u2014 Buoy, Gritty, and Youppi, oh my!
