SABRETOOTH

Sabretooth
NHL Affiliate: Buffalo Sabres
Height: very big
Weight: huggable

Little known fact: Signs paw-tographs left-handed

Sabretooth is one of the most mysterious mascots in pro sports. No one really knows where this bad cat came from, but rumor has it, he was discovered under the ice at The Aud during 1988-89 season.

While he may be hated by his NHL suit rivals, he is well loved by the Buffalo fans. He is a very popular mascot because he is always ready to give a hug, sign an autograph or take a picture with the Sabre faithful.

Born on January 1,1988, Sabes not only signs autographs southpaw, he also shoots the puck left-handed and is considered to be the AL MacInnis of NHL mascots, as his blasts usually register in the triple digits on the radar gun.

Sabretooth loves to perform at the HSBC Arena. In the 2000 season he performed in 42 games, had over 50 dances and more than 300 appearances. The workaholic also signed more than 15,000 autographs. Not bad for someone with no fingers!
