As Jim said, Bananas is Maine's mascot. A number of years ago, a child was tried as the mascot (Son of Bananas?). Unfortunately, during his first performance he was injured; a college student has been used ever since. During the tike's first game, the arena staff lowered the scoreboard to make some repairs. Most everyone thought Son of Bananas could see the thing being lowered and was skating under it for show. He could not and was taken off the ice with a concussion, after banging into it.
