I think the eagle is the mascot of team USA and the polar bear, Breezer, is the rink's mascot during the tourney. Could have swore I saw that Bear hanging around the arena a few years ago. It reminds me too much of the Coke Polar Bear, Probably a free gift from coke when it got the exclusive pop contract at REA. I think the driver of the Coke Zamboni should have to wear the costume.
It did step onto the ice Sunday and promptly fell on his arse. It did look staged though.
