Marlins Fans Toss Kangaroo Plushies onto Ice After Back-to-Back Wins

SAN DIEGO, CA — The VHLM season has officially kicked off and the San Diego Marlins have made a big splash despite preseason doubts. After re-acquiring prospects Lachlan Summers and Vincent Laroche-Gagnier in the draft as well as new members in Tristen Gorlim and Adam Rage, they are now beginning to round out their roster with new waiver signings. 

 

During their opening home game against the Mexico City Kings, returning goaltender Summers stunned the Kings’ offense by stopping 42 of 45 shots for a .933 save percentage to end the night in a close 4-3 win for the Marlins.

 

A group of fans proceeded to toss six kangaroo stuffed animals onto the ice— a clear reference to Summers’ nationality. At first, he didn’t think much of it, but did end up asking the ice crew for permission to keep the plushies.

 

In their next home game, they faced the Miami Marauders in a thrilling contest that ended in a 5-4 shootout win. Summers had shown that his experience in the Junior Showcase helped him leaps and bounds, as he was able to stay cool in the face of danger in OT as opposed to his showings for the Delhi Pickles. The Australian denied Miami’s shooters until Adam Rage put away the game winning goal for San Diego.

 

The arena erupted into cheers and more kangaroo plushes ended up on the ice— almost triple the amount than the first game. It was clear these Marlins fans had gotten inspired by the previous night’s antics, and the clip went viral on social media.

 

“It’s funny— I don’t know what else to say,” Summers chuckled in a post-game press conference, showing off a couple of the new stuffed animals he’d be adding to his collection. “If we see roo stuffies on the ice, that means we won the game and that’s all that matters. I’m grateful that the team and the city of San Diego have embraced me. I love it here and I’m glad I got to return for another season.”

 

Marlins GM Jacob announced Summers would be the de facto captain, despite the team going without letters on their jerseys this season due to its small roster. Hopefully, this strong start will be a preview for the rest of San Diego’s VHLM campaign this year.
