The Chicago Wolves are a part of the AHL (American Hockey League), and play at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois. The St. Louis Blues recruit from them, which tells you how good they are. My favorite part about the games however, is the mascot.
A lot of mascots have a stigma about them, but this one is definitely what mascots are meant to be.
At the last game I went to the mascot was dancing the actual dance to Single Ladies before Skates sat down in front of us. He leaned back as if stretching when he saw my stepdad's popcorn sitting on the empty seat next to him. Skates took the popcorn and then started handing out out to all of the people around him. It was ridiculously hilarious. He wasn't even done yet. The next thing he did was grab my foam hand and pretend it was his real hand. And THEN he took the girl behind me's stuffed Skates plushie and stuffed it in his face! He signed it after he'd wiped off the fake spit.
All in all, I never have any complaints about the Wolves games. The mascot is great, they light up fireworks in the stadium when we score, and the tickets are cheap.
