If Big Bird and Bart Simpson collided in the rink, the resulting character might just be Stinger. Kids will love his hug-ability. Adults will take to his irrepressible irreverence. Stinger has something for everyone!

While Stinger is definitely mischievous, we can't lose sight that his antics are always focused on the opponent's mascot. While he certainly interacts in a fun, positive way with home team supporters, the other teams' mascots and fans are always the recipients of his impish charm.

Just take a look at him. Slender and fast as can be, Stinger projects a fun and engaging image-almost a Jim Carey like quality. And what Stinger lacks in stature, he makes up for in attitude-and that attitude just screams "Rock Star." He's the center of attention wherever he goes!

He may taunt and tease the opponent, but he's a regular do-gooder when it comes to his hometown, whether he's supporting Children's Hospital or rallying behind youth hockey.
In his case, being a bug has its advantages. Through his antics, Stinger buzzes, flies and stings, just like his real-life counterparts. Fans will see him as friendly and michevious. Opponents will fear his "sting."

And while Stinger is a tough guy, he's also an underdog. This adds another aspect to his likable nature. It's through his "tough but tender" persona that Stinger is sure to succeed in winning over fans.
