6. Tommy Hawk (Chicago Blackhawks)

Chicago is one of the largest cities in the United States. The Windy City has produced some of the most famous and successful people on earth. Robin Williams, Kanye West, Walt Disney, Coach K. and Hillary Clinton all grew in The Second City.

The sports teams of Chicago have had some major recent success. The Chicago Cubs were finally the last team standing after 108 years of waiting. On the South Side, the White Sox have a nice young core on the horizon. Do we even have to discuss Michael Jordan? “Da Bears” may have had a revolving door at quarterback, besides Jay Cutler, but the Blackhawks have made up for it with three Stanley Cups over the past decade.

Thomas Hawk has been the mascot of the Blackhawks for many years. His longevity has allowed him to be inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame. Yes, there is a Mascot Hall of Fame. Tommy and his buddy Benny the Bull were immortalized in 2017.

The Hall of Famer has a lot to offer. His NHL.com bio informs the audience that he is a terrific dancer. Many boxers and fighters are known for dancing. It helps with his speed and agility. Our feathery friend will soar in and take out our foe when called upon.
