The Edmonton Oilers have a furry addition to the family to go along with their new Rogers Place home. Edmonton announced Monday its first official mascot, Hunter the Canadian Lynx.
He's named after the Oilers' original owner, "Wild Bill" Hunter, and he'll wear No. 72 on his jersey for the year the Oilers began play. He also has the most prominent lynx feature, four canine teeth the cats use to puncture and grip their prey.
