Kingma 34 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 5. Moscow Red Wolves Red Red from the Moscow Red Wolves is not your typical mascot. He's actually quite a jolly fellow. While most mascots will hand out high fives at will, Red will only do so once you answer a riddle that he poses to you. He's kind of a dick. Needless to say, Red is perhaps the most bland mascot in the entire VHLM. But he looks cool doing it. 4. Turku Outlaws The Turk The Turk is actually an ancient Turku warrior that really has nothing to do with the team. The Turkus were a barbarian tribe in Finland during the Roman Empire era, and were known for their elaborate disguises. As the legend goes, the Turkus fought back Roman invaders by covering themselves in shrubbery and giant clam shells. The Turk rushes onto the ice and hollers "Gluubeerama bluubeerama rajii rajii" and then does back flips back off the ice. The Turk is just a strange Finnish cultural thing, but I like him! 3. Bern Royals Bernie Bernie is the Royals' main attraction, well, after Jody 3 Moons of course! Outfitted in regalia worn by King Louis XVI, Bernie is the cat's pajamas. At every home game, Bernie knights one special fan to be the Sentry-on-Guard. The Sentry gets to drop a ceremonial puck and wear a funny looking sash. Did I mention that Bernie's crown includes the Ruby of the Empire which was Queen Victoria's most prized possession? Bernie has bling and is very distinguished. 2. Bratislava Watchmen Brutus IX of Bratislava Brataslava's Brutus IX is a majestic Slovakian Pit Bull Terrier who comes from a long lineage of Watchmen guard dogs. Brutus IX's great great great grandfather protected Slovakian soldiers from madness by fetching hockey sticks out of the Black Forest during the Great War. The student section at the Watchmen's arena is known as the "Dog Pound", but people don't bark. Instead they scowl at the opponents and drool and do all the fun things a Slovak Pit Bull does. It is often understood that opposing teams have about five minutes to leave the rink if they beat the Watchmen. Good thing for the league is that the Watchmen rarely lose. Brutus IX doesn't do much nowadays but he continues to inspire fans by his outreach work at local hospitals. Brutus IX has sired three sons who are all vying to become the next "Pes Na Starosti". 1. Oslo Storm Knut the Great Knut the Great electrifies the Oslo faithful with his high pressured antics. Knut whips Storm players into a feeding frenzy in which they devour their opponents. Not really, but you get the picture. Knut is just a big hunk of man and is in my opinion, the best mascot in the VLHM. ~475 words gorlab, Caillean, boubabi and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator frescoelmo 1,224 Posted October 25, 2014 Moderator Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) Content: 2.75/3 - Nice article about the top mascots in the VHLM European Conference. Clearly a unique and fun piece that I may have learned a little about some cultures during the process, even if it wasn't true Adding an introduction and/or a conclusion in the future would be a nice, easy way to score some extra words and help the audience understand what you are analyzing. ~465. Grammar: 2/2 - Well done. most bland = blandest (marginal) Brataslava's = Bratislava's Brutus IX doesn't do much nowadays but he = Brutus IX doesn't do much nowadays, but he (marginal) Appearance: 1/1 - Good work with the pictures and formatting. 5.75/6 Edited October 25, 2014 by frescoelmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Trifecta 1,896 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Content: 3/3 This was a great piece here. Kinda interesting picking the mascots on your own. Not quite sure I like the idea of Oslo's because the guy looks like a bum. Otherwise great work despite being a little on the shorter side.
