Introducing René, your new favorite Texan
#1

As the Texas Renegades begin their second season in La Salle Arena, they're raising the roof to enhance your gameday experience! If you've caught a Renegades game already, then you've been treated to the revamped goal horn featuring none other than "Renegade" by Styx!!! Our new celebration song was selected by the players themselves and they hope you'll soon be sick of hearing it as they light the lamp over and over again.

You already know about the great family-friendly restaurants, shops, and atmosphere both inside and outside our new home, but we are roaring to introduce another reason for fans of all ages to love Texas hockey...

Say hello to René the Red Wolf!

Obviously "René" is the first part of Renegades, but it's also another nod to René-Robert Cavelier, whose name graces the ice at LSA. History-buffs and Texas diehards will recall that René-Robert was a Frenchman who explored the Gulf of Mexico, coined the "Louisiana" place name, and perished while living in the Lone Star state.

Being a red wolf is also important Texan history, and hopefully its future. Having once roamed from central Texas to the Atlantic coast of Pennsylvania, Canis rufus is now critically endangered. While still fairly common till 1940, the red wolf was thought to be extirpated in the 1960s. But the species was not fully extinct and reintroduction has been ongoing since the late 1980s. Two-thirds of the known population still reside in captivity, but with protection under the Endangered Species Act and ongoing breeding plans, hope remains high for the red wolf. By introducing one as their mascot, the Texas Renegades hope to raise more awareness and support for this striking creature that symbolizes the power and perseverance of all Texans.

So the jig is up and the news is out! René and everyone in the Renegades organization looks forward to seeing you and the whole family at La Salle Arena.

We love René The Wolf!

So excited about this! And I love the tie in with the real world history! Great work!

It's been so much fun remolding and making Texas ours and having our very own players re-establish our brand with so much creativity.
