The Adirondack Flames’ firefighter-killing mascot is no more.
The AHL affiliate of the Calgary Flames says Scorch is being extinguished, after a less than stellar unveiling last week.
When the team introduced Scorch to the public, it decided to include a backstory that the flame was the last remaining ember from a fire in Glens Falls, New York that destroyed half the town about 150 years ago.
If that wasn’t bad enough, Scorch then overpowered a firefighter and did a victory dance.
The team quickly apologized for the skit but today the Glens Falls Post Star reports; the team president says management is designing a new mascot that will be associated with fun, not fear.
