Stanley and Bernie Lead Florida Charge to the Finals: A Boom for the Sunshine State

In a thrilling turn of events, Florida's sports scene is on fire as both Stanley, the beloved mascot of the Florida Panthers, and Bernie, the charismatic mascot of the Miami Heat, are leading their respective teams to the finals.
The two larger-than-life characters have brought not just a surge of excitement to their teams but also an unprecedented wave of anticipation across the state of Florida. The Sunshine State is buzzing with the prospect of back-to-back victories in the NHL and NBA championships.
Stanley the Panther has been a staple of the Florida Panthers since 1995, charming fans with his playful antics and high-energy routines. Named after the coveted Stanley Cup, Stanley's heartening presence at every Panthers' game is believed to be a source of inspiration for the team. Stanley's spirit, coupled with the Panthers' tenacity, has played a key role in steering them towards the Stanley Cup Finals this year.
Similarly, Bernie, the anthropomorphic flame-clad mascot of the Miami Heat, has been lighting up the NBA scene since 1988. Bernie's fun-loving nature and engaging dances have made him a crowd favorite. His vibrant personality mirrors the Heat's dynamic and powerful playstyle, which has been instrumental in their journey to the NBA Finals.
For both Stanley and Bernie, the finals represent more than just an opportunity for their teams to win. It is a chance to ignite the pride of Florida, a state rich with diverse cultures and passionate sports fans. Their performances, much like their teams, reflect the determination, resilience, and spirit of Florida's people.
As the two mascots rally their teams for the big showdowns, the camaraderie and friendly competition between them have given fans something extra to cheer for. The fact that both Stanley and Bernie are from the same state has sparked a "friendly state rivalry", adding another layer of excitement to these championships.
It's more than just mascots leading their teams to the finals—it's a testament to Florida's spirit and its sporting culture. It's a celebration of the hard work, determination, and talent present in the state. And most importantly, it's a moment of unity, as fans across Florida come together to support their teams, rallying behind Stanley and Bernie.
As the NHL and NBA Finals begin to get started, one thing is certain: the Sunshine State will be basking in the spotlight. Whether it's on the icy rinks with Stanley or the sizzling courts with Bernie, Florida is geared up to showcase its sports prowess. No matter the outcome, the journey of Stanley and Bernie to the finals has already brought much joy and pride to the state, proving that when it comes to sports, Florida is indeed a force to be reckoned with.

An Interview with Top Gunner

Mascot Interviews Is Back and Mascot Insider is pleased to present an interview with Top Gunner the official mascot for the West Texas Warbirds take a read below.
Can you tell the Fans a little about your Self and how you became to be the Mascot for Warbird Football Team?
I'm Bishop Greene aka Mascot Sensei and I've been a mascot entertainer for over 20 years. I've entertained masses from high school to my collegiate days as Sammy the Bearkat for Sam Houston State. As semi-pro/ professional entertained for the Midland RockHounds ( minor league affiliate of the Oakland A's) and the Odessa Jackalopes (NAHL hockey).
Which lead me to this new opportunity to entertain as Top Gunner. Interesting enough, the WTX Warbirds play in the same arena and the owner loved what he witnessed while I entertained the hockey fans and I was asked if I would be the mascot for their sports franchise. I said yes and the rest is history. It was exciting to be a part of creating a mascot for a new team and having complete control developing the character's persons from scratch.
Your team has taken home the Championship Two Times so Far. And now you’re joining the NAL League in 2023 how excited are you for the Team and for yourself?
I'm super excited about entering the NAL, where they not only the players and fans but also the mascots. They have a mascot of the year award and I am going to compete for the award next season! The West Texas Warbirds are undefeated and fully expect to be challenged next season. We have a target on our backs and we know it but I'm confident that we'll be ready for whichever team we play first. It's been a wild two years for us and our fans are starting gel with this franchise.
Is there a Favorite Skit you've done in the Past on the Field or off the Field?
One of my personal favorite skits was when I came out to the intro music of James Brown's "Living in America" in front of a baseball crowd in complete awe! It was July 4th and I rocked it!!! I've done skits that received way more appreciation but that one moment I appreciate so much because I introduced the Godfather of soul to a crowd that had no idea he existed! 🤣🤣🤣
Do you have a Pre-Game Ritual if so, what is it or if so, what do you do?
I sometimes like to walk amongst the crowds entering the arena before the game begins and scope out fans that appear ready for fun times! I read crowds and navigate from there.
How is a game structured for yourself (are you free to do as you please or is it be in a certain area until a certain time)
As Top Gunner, it varies from game to game. There may be sponsored events that require my presence. Other times I'm able to improvise. This franchise has shown that it trusts my mascot experience and appreciates my ability to entertain our fans.
Do you have a favorite Fan Interaction or Memory if so, what is it?
I have certain things that I'll do for certain fans and it's just wit inside joke between the mascot and the fan. Every "penalty box heckle" moment is a favorite of mine. The crowds would get rowdy and I fed off of their energy. But the most memorable moment I had as a mascot was during my days as Sammy the Bearkat. I was standing on the sidelines of the football field and became (informally) introduced to the late Steve "Air" McNair as he was hit out of bounds. Steve later became the starting NFL QB of the Tennessee Titans. The moment was brief but never forgotten!
We wanna thank Top Gunner and his pal Bishop Greene for taking the time to do an interview with us. You can follow Top Gunner on Twitter and follow some of his adventures on the Facebook as well. Plus you can also Follow his pal Bishop with his Facebook Page by Clicking Here.

Mascot Games Postponed Till 2023

For many years, Mascot Insider has had the chance to cover the best event in Orlando, FL — The Mascot Games at Amway Center. This event supports a foundation called New Hope for Kids, which helps Central Florida children in need. Their purpose is to bring hope, healing, and happiness to children and families suffering from grief, loss, or life-threatening illnesses. New Hope for Kids achieves this through two programs. With the Mascot Games, they feature approximately 30 mascots from sports teams across the country competing in various games, all while raising funds for New Hope for Kids.
As we all know, for the past two years we've been going through the Coronavirus Pandemic. We are sad to report fans will have to wait another year for the Mascot Games to return. They've updated their website to confirm that the 2022 event has been canceled. We are sad to hear this as this will mark the third year the event has been canceled. We realize how important this event is for New Hope for Kids. Mascots that compete to become the Mascot Games Champion also take home a trophy. We've posted the official statement from mascotgames.org website below.

While we again are sad to hear Mascot Games has officially been canceled for 2022, we are excited to see the Mascot Games 5K is officially BACK ON this year. Fans around the world can participate in this fun at Home event and help raise funds for New Hope for Kids at the same time! The event is scheduled for July 16-23, 2022. For more information, visit https://mascotgames.org. You can also email to info@mascotgames.org to find out when registration opens.
On behalf of the entire Mascot Insider Team, we can't wait until the Games return in 2023. For now, we are excited that the 5K has returned! And if you'd like more information about New Hope for Kids, such as volunteering or donating to this fantastic foundation, please visit https://newhopeforkids.org.

University of Cincinnati Bearcat Named 2022 National Champion from the UCA College Nationals

During January, many colleges head down to the ESPN World Wide of Sports and compete in the UCA College Nationals. As part of the selection process to compete in the Finals, Mascots must submit a Mascot Entry Tape to the UCA. This video must contain things that show the UCA how the Mascots impact their College spirit. The video must include Involvement with Sports Events, Community Events, and more. The videos are judged and scored by a team, and the Mascots with the highest scores are invited to perform a Final Skit at the ESPN World Wide of Sports.
Bearcat from the University of Cincinnati scored Second Place in that Video Submission and Aubie the Tiger made it a tie. Below, you can see Bearcat’s video.
Both Bearcat and Aubie were invited to compete in the Finals for the 2022 Division IA Mascot Title. On January 15, all selected Mascots performed a skit that they've created on their own, and the biggest score wins. I was fortunate and took some time to head over to the ESPN World Wide of Sports and watch these college Mascots compete for that title. Let me tell you, all these college Mascots and their outstanding Cheer Teams did an amazing job. It was so much fun getting to see all the cheering. We've attached a preview video of the Skit that Bearcat performed.
As you can see, it's tons of fun for the college Mascots and it for sure causes lots of fun crowd engagement. After all Mascots performed, the results take some time to come. So while waiting, the Mascots came out on the stage and did a little more dancing, with fans and college cheer teams cheering on their Mascot. We've posted a little clip of that blow.
During my time, I happened to sit by Cincinnati Cheer Team. As results were being called, it was a very nerve-racking time for all the students and fans. Once the Second Place winner was announced, which was The University of Tennessee’s Smokey, it was time to hear the First Place winner. Even I stood up and cheered as Bearcat was officially named 2022 National Champion for the Division IA Mascot. It was an exciting moment for the entire team as this was Bearcat's first-ever award for that division. I've attached that Video below.
We are grateful to have seen this all occur live. And we want to congratulate all the Mascots for their hard work during this week's competition. Mascot Insider's passion is to cover things like this, and we think all Mascots are excellent and love what they do.
We look forward to covering this event again. And check all the rest of the fantastic photos we took and the video below.

It's been Two Years Too Long...

COVID has put pause on lots of things in the Mascot World and things are finally changing. On June 4, 2020, the NBA announced they would return to finish the season at the Walt Disney World Resort. This return would place players in a "Bubble," and mascots would not be allowed to attend any of the events. This left mascots out of the sports world. The same rule applied when the NHL resumed its season, which was played in Canada at Rogers Place and Scotiabank Arena. With these Bubbles, mascots were not able to entertain the players or fans watching on television.
Now the good news. Through social media outlets such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, some mascots continued to interact with fans, and some even became creative and did Paid or Free Zoom Meet and Greets and more. This allowed mascots to do what they do best — put a smile on the faces of fans. A prominent example is Toro from the Houston Texans football team who was able to do LIVE Zoom Calls and Crash into Student's Lessons to allow fans stuck at home learning to have some smiles. It was amazing to see and we've attached a clip below.

As things looked better with COVID, sports organizations started to allow players to return to their arenas or have Host Arenas instead of being stuck in a formal Bubble. While this was good news for many fans, it still was an issue with mascots. When the NFL announced they were beginning operations, it was advised that NFL Mascots would be restricted from stepping foot on the field; the same applied to others such as the NBA, MLB, and the MiLB. This again stopped mascots from interacting directly with players, with fans still being suspended in the area. But this also brought some bright spots for mascots. Many mascots discovered they were permitted to do other things and broadcast it on their social media networks. This included being allowed to do fun skits in the arena's seating areas and even use some lounges as spaces to do fun things. This is WHY mascots are fantastic. Even in a pandemic, it allowed them to still interact with fans while their team played. I've attached some examples, and the fun mascots did during this time.
And that's just the small snip of what Mascots did during the sports shutdown. Now onto today's date of November 2021, sports are BACK!! Fans are slowly returning to the stands, and Mascots restrictions are gradually being lifted, which allows them again to see fans' faces and make them smile. It's been a crazy two years, but we are SO excited to see everything returning to normal. We here at Mascot Insider have also lost great events such as IAAPA and Mascot Games, but thankfully, event's are coming back for us to attend! We are very excited to be slowly returning back soon, and we THANK all the amazing fans for the support you've offered, including the great mascots. Let's make the upcoming 2022 amazing and onward.
