Written Option 1:

The Vancouver Whalers will sport a new team pet in a pet tortoise! The name is to be decided and will be based on a poll among the current skaters, but regardless our new turtle friend is welcomed with open arms to the Vancouver locker room, just being able to slowly get it's way around and make it to the stadium by the end of the 1st period. However, when he does reach the spotlight, the crowd will go crazy as he soon heads back inside to make it to the locker room by the end of the game. Honestly, not much is needed to take care our the new team mascot as he is free to roam the long hallways and people are sure to let him know where his food and water bowl is, but it seems like he just enjoys the environment of being around a faster, busier world. Maybe soon enough he'll appear as a guest on the ice!
