Some of the Admirals' top prospects visited children at a local hospital on Thursday night to play games, do a few exercises, and even be interviewed. But the star of the show was Ackbar, the Admirals' new mascot, who made his debut.
![[Image: 4f99d0a5919e71d47ef7828d43400480.jpg]](https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/4f/99/d0/4f99d0a5919e71d47ef7828d43400480.jpg) The goal of Monday's appearance at Randall Children's Hospital at Legacy Emanuel Medical Center 's pediatric developmental center was for the players and Admiral Ackbar to help reinforce positive activities being taught to children with measles, snakebite, dysentery, typhoid, cholera, and exhaustion among other Oregon Trail related challenges. From the looks of things, everyone had a good time. Players did jumping jacks and stretches with the children, answered questions about their favorite ice cream flavor and colors, and competed in friendly games of "Minecraft." Geronimo Otto, the Admirals' No. 20 Draft pick, revealed he would have been a fashion designer if he wasn't a hockey player. A boy named Declan wanted to know Otto's favorite movie, but the centerman couldn't pick one, so he asked the youngster for his pick. Not only did Declan declare one of the Star Wars movies as No. 1 but invited Otto to his house so they could watch it together. ![[Image: vFD3JPayLxFvO.gif]](http://i.giphy.com/vFD3JPayLxFvO.gif) In another room, prospects Kyle Wahlgren, Joey Ryan, and Marc Leclerc were with some children plus Admiral Ackbar, tossing balls, playing with a train set, and taking turns on a plastic slide. The hospital visit was the type of event the Admirals have planned for the new mascot, which was created as a response to survey feedback, fan interviews and love of the Star Wars franchise. According to the team, people wanted more Admirals-related family-friendly entertainment at Moda Center, and Admiral Ackbar will interact in the community, engage with young fans, and be respectful of the game. The Admirals say Ackbar will be a champion for Admirals Charities' mission of targeting improvements in health and wellness, fitness and education for children, and families at risk out on the trail. Young fans will see the mascot at schools during Admirals Wagon or "Acks on the Move" fitness program visits; hospital appearances; and other family-focused events, such as the upcoming Admirals Ballroom and Interpretative Dance. ![[Image: xmYgFw9gdWWIM.gif]](http://i.giphy.com/xmYgFw9gdWWIM.gif) Fans won't see the mascot on the ice between innings, or tossing T-shirts or hot dogs into the stands, and it won't disrupt the game. Instead, Admiral Ackbar will greet fans as they enter Moda Center, and also stop by the arena's "First Timers Booth" to welcome new guests. On family Sundays, the mascot will join the kids on the ice after the game. Most of the time, Admiral Ackbar will welcome fans to his own clubhouse at Moda Center, where families can visit. Fans also will be able to interact with Admiral Ackbar on Twitter!

Please tell me this is legit.
“The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. ... There are neither beginnings nor endings to the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning.”
