Curious Brown Bear Charges Towards The Seattle Kraken Mascot, Buoy, During Recent Fly Fishing Trip

Curious Brown Bear Charges Towards The Seattle Kraken Mascot, Buoy, During Recent Fly Fishing Trip

Gotta keep that mascot head on a swivel.

The world of mascots – especially in the NHL – is a weird one. At some point, it seems as though professional sports teams went from thinking “How can we create a mascot that represents our team?” to “How can we bring to the life the weirdest, most unhinged mascot creature the world has ever seen?”

Philadelphia Flyer orange-mess-mascot Gritty being the best example.

But Seattle Kraken mascot “Buoy” is a close second. The west coast NHL team is only a couple of years old, as it was added into the league as an expansion team in 2021. Considering the name of the team is the Kraken (which is pretty bada** if you ask me), it might have made sense to have a kraken as the mascot.

Seattle decided to go with another mythical creature… a sea troll named Buoy, which they describe as this:

“Buoy is the Seattle sea-troll who inhabits the caverns of Climate Pledge Arena and for who nothing beats a day filled with Kraken hockey and the team’s fans. Buoy is a great admirer of the Kraken and pays tribute to the mysterious deep sea creature with a unique touch of magic in his hockey hair flow.”
