Slapshot Wins ECHL Mascot of the Year

Reading, PA – Reading Royals Mascot Slapshot was named 2019 ECHL Mascot of the Year in a poll conducted on echl.com, with fans from around the league voting to determine the best ECHL mascot of the year.

This is the first time Slapshot has been recognized in a vote as ECHL Mascot of the Year and follows the tradition of notable Flyers’ affiliated mascots to earn honors. Flyers mascot Gritty won a 2019 Webby Award for best sports-related social media account.

I wanted to thank you again for the opportunity you have created for our kids.  This experience is more than the TV show.  Eight students who probably never would have talked to each other were excited to execute a plan. Know that you make a difference.
