In a piece of news that should get Blackhawks fans even more pumped for the start of the NHL season, team mascot Tommy Hawk has been honored by his peers for his continued excellence.
Tommy Hawk was voted 'NHL Mascot of the Year by the other mascots around the league.
The Tommy Hawk character was introduced to Blackhawk fans in the 2001-02 season and has been steadily winning over fans ever since with his trademarks: his four colored feathers, his full Blackhawks uniform (minus the skates) complete with his custom 'Tommy' jersey and his boisterous attitude.
This has been quite the summer for Tommy Hawk, as he has also been inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame earlier this offseason.
Despite the obvious appeal of new kids on the block like lovable Flyers mascot 'Gritty', Tommy Hawk was able to win over the hearts of the league's mascots and with the Blackhawks bringing even more energy in what should be a bounce-back 2019-20 season, expect Tommy Hawk to continue his reign as the NHL's premier mascot.
