List of NHL mascots

This is a list of current and former National Hockey League (NHL) mascots. The NHL's first mascot, Harvey of the Calgary Flames, debuted in 1983. As of 2025, the New York Rangers are the only team without a mascot.

Wild Wing, the mascot of the Anaheim Ducks, descended from the rafters of Anaheim Arena before their very first game on October 8, 1993. Wild Wing was introduced by Iceman, a short-lived speaking mascot that was "pretty much canceled before the end of the opening game".

An anthropomorphic duck, Wild Wing has been featured on the Ducks' jerseys. Wild Wing's name was chosen following a fan "Name the Mascot" write-in contest. During the team's 1995 home opener against the Calgary Flames, Wild Wing caught fire attempting to jump over a wall of flames, after his skates caught on a trampoline. Wild Wing was the basis for the protagonist of the 1996–97 animated series Mighty Ducks.

Blades is the mascot of the Boston Bruins. A bipedal brown bear, Blades was named in 2000 by nine-year-old Jillian Dempsey, who later became a professional player.

Sabretooth is the mascot of the Buffalo Sabres. Sabretooth debuted with the Sabres in the 1988–89 season. From 1992 to 1998, he was the mascot of the Buffalo Bandits of the National Lacrosse League. He is a yellow anthropomorphic sabretooth tiger with blue stripes, and has protruding teeth.

Harvey, the mascot of the Calgary Flames, debuted in 1984 as the NHL's first mascot. He is an anthropomorphic Siberian Husky. In 2003, Edmonton Oilers coach Craig MacTavish ripped out Harvey's tongue during a game.

Stormy the Ice Hog is the mascot of the Carolina Hurricanes. An anthropomorphic pig, Stormy wears the number 97.

The decision for Stormy to be a pig was inspired by North Carolina's pork industry. When the team was being moved from the Hartford Whalers, then-owner Peter Karmanos considered naming the team the "Ice Hogs". Then–general manager Jim Rutherford said the idea was also influenced by meetings with North Carolina politician Wendell Murphy. The theme was instead expressed through the mascot.
