My 8u son’s team won a tournament and got to play mascots, and Thunderbug kept messing with my goalie son. He recognized the show and responded appropriately.

The mascots were naturally quite silly, and some of them were bodying the kids pretty good. My son, the net minder, decided to try and throw hands. He had a blast and got a puck signed by the mascots. TB wrote “boo you”. Such a fun weekend!

Your son is going to have to work on that temper!
I figured out of all the places on Reddit I wouldn’t need a /s here haha
Mascot should’ve acted like he got wrecked. Would have been funnier
Solid snap down by thunderbug.
You got a great kid, this is awesome..
Nah, ya boy should have cup checked him, then dropped the gloves.
I still hold the record for most penalty minutes for a goaltender in my youth league. I’m not proud. But I kinda am.
Is this McKinney?
Where can I be a mascot and bully kids
Did his mom teach him how to fight?
Pigeon tossed 😊
Looks like Dean Youngblood vs. Carl Raki during tryouts.
How many of the mascots were there? I assume Gritty isn’t allowed within 500 yards of a kid’s team.
