Scooper Sam was among the mascots celebrating Nugget’s Birthday Bash on January 9 during a Rapid City Rush hockey game. Mascots from across the Black Hills area gathered for a pre-game social before heading into the Rush arena to greet fans in the lobby.
The celebration continued during intermission, when all the mascots took to the ice and assembled in the face-off circle to wish Nugget a happy birthday. The festive moment drew cheers from the crowd and added an extra dose of fun to the night’s game.
