NHL All-Star Game’s weirdest fan souvenir? Mascot Tiki Totems!
LOS ANGELES – The NHL All-Star Game Fan Fest has keepsakes for every fan’s desire. You want official team jerseys and hats? You got’em. You want T-shirts with garish reminders that the game is being played in Los Angeles? They’re yours.
You want a Tiki Totem idol featuring NHL mascots?
You got’em.
[Kneels down to pray to new plushie god…]
These have been available here and there for a while, but it’s the first time we’ve seen them at an NHL event like the all-star game. From the official description:
Decorate your home or yard with this fun NHL Tiki Totem made by Evergreen Enterprises. Each Tiki Totem measures approximately 5.5-inches in width and 16-inches in height. It features hand-painted team graphics and team colors and is officially licensed by the NHL. This fun, stacked figurine is a unique and distinctive way to showcase your team spirit all year long!
They’re so weird!
The angry puck on the bottom. Then the block with the team logo. Then … that’s Tie Domi, right?
Then on top of that blockhead player’s helmet, you have the mascot perched.
Well, except for the Flyers, who don’t have a mascot, alas:
What, they couldn’t just throw Radko Gudas up there?
The totems retail for $35.88.
But honestly, the chance to pray each day to Youppi! or Iceburgh is priceless.
