Rush Hulk Can Attend Lacrosse Came In Calgary, But Can't Act Like A Mascot

The Canadian Press, 24 Jan, 2018 11:49 AM
    CALGARY — The Calgary Roughnecks say a Saskatchewan Rush fan who dresses up as the Incredible Hulk can come to this weekend's lacrosse game, but he can't act as a team mascot.
     
     
    Kelvin Ooms, who's known as Rush Hulk, says he was told he wasn't allowed to wear his costume to Saturday's National Lacrosse League game between the Rush and the Roughnecks in Calgary.
     
     
    Roughnecks officials say he can wear his costume as a fan, but not as an official or unofficial mascot.
     
     
    The team's vice-president, Mike Moore, says it's policy not to allow opposition team mascots.
     
     
    He says there are also safety and security issues when opposing team mascots rile up the fans.
     
     
    Moore says Ooms can wear his Hulk costume, provided he stays in his seat and is not obstructing the view of other fans.
