Suggestions are pouring in for the Victoria 贬补谤产辞耻谤颁补迟蝉B次元官网网址 soon-to-be-born mascot. The Name the Mascot contest is on until Feb. 24 and the top three picks will get some mighty ticket prizes. The grand prize winner receives two season tickets ($550 value), with two runner up prizes consisting of one 10-game reserved flex pack ($99 each).

The expansion teamB次元官网网址檚 mascot is still in the B次元官网网址渨omb,B次元官网网址 so to speak, and though most assume its a boy, the gender is not necessarily defined, said HarbourCats general manager Holly Jones.

Holly Jr., for example, isnB次元官网网址檛 out of the running.

New for this contest is that the winnerB次元官网网址檚 name will be released, whereas the person(s) who came up with the HarbourCats name went undisclosed. The background story to support the name is also a big factor in who will win, Jones said.
