Yep North Dakota has been known for its love of throwing Buckets of
Dead gophers and other mascots onto the Ice. I guess while your
doing it, it seams rather funny, But I would just like to say that I
really don't see much need for this tradition in Hockey it unlike the
fighting brings a bad name to the sport. Could you see if at every
hockey game they throw out a Dead <insert mascot here> on to the Ice.
What would people think if they went to a game and a Duck or a shark
was thrown out on the Ice. hehe What about them great AHL and IHL
games you could throw out fireants and Moose
