Anchor: With the Detroit Falcons on the lower end of the SMJHL standings; the owner had an idea to improve team morale after a day of Falconry with former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.; our sports reporter has the story.

Reporter: The owner of Detroit Falcons has added a team pet; one he bought from RFK Jr.! A Falcon that will hopefully kickstart this team 20 games into the season. We asked a Falcons player what they thought about the surprising addition to the team and here's what they had to say.

Bjelland: We love him; we named him Phil. Many players have different opinions on our owner but it's pretty unanimous that this was a great choice.

Reporter: According to team representatives; Phil will make his debut at the next Falcons home game and fly out over the crowd!

Anchor: Detroit is currently 13th in the standings so hopefully the addition of Phil the Falcon helps Detroit climb the ranks for an eventual playoff run.
