Bones no more?

[dogged74]

You'll be missed Bones Sr. :'( I know from experience that that job isn't as easy as it looks. Talk about not being able to take a shift off! You really made that character come alive!

[Paws and Reflect]

I couldn't agree more on that great job you have done Bones through the years. You have been extremely visible and a great mascot for our Niagara Ice Dogs team. The look on the faces of all the young and old fans that see you is priceless. Your game day antics and climbing the glass at the Jack are so memorable. When I first heard of your pending departure, my first instinct was that perhaps some member of the Burke family was trying the outfit on and practicing in the wings and preparing to take over your position, LOL.. Good luck in the future. Go Dogs Go!!!

I would be honored if they asked me to drop the puck at a game but I doubt it.

Collectively there must be enough contacts and goodwill within this forum to honour a man who has personified the character of the team for so long. I am confident the IceDogs organization could find a creative way to recognize the achievements of the man while taking nothing away from the mystery of the mascot.

Thanks my friend for the kind words ... Now that I am not Bones anymore I don't mind people knowing.

I've met you once in mississauga where you admitted to being bones.. I don't think they will ever be able to replace you hope all ends well for you in the future

I also saw you once, however, I did not have a chance to talk to you.
You were leaving a Tim Horton's restaurant on Main St E. in Welland
You were wearing you gear but not the head dress.

Thank you once again for everything over the years and it was even pretty cool when you sat on my lap during a game at the Jack.
Good luck in the future!

This new bones' socks are really baggy and the one sock is way longer than the other. It's kinda annoying me lol.

Makes me wonder did the old ones wear shin pads ? Lol
