Mascot Madness!

First acted by Glenn Street, Harvey made his debut in 1983 serving as the mascot of the Flames and later as a second mascot for the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League. He was later dropped by the Stampeders in favour of their original mascot, Ralph the Dog, however his popularity with the Flames was such that many teams contacted Street about making mascots for their own teams.

His first game, February 16, 1984 was a Flames rout over the Pittsburgh Penguins, 10 – 3 at the Pengrowth Saddledome. Both Lanny McDonald and Doug Risebrough scored hat tricks and ever since Harvey has been a fixture with the Flames. Harvey has remained a mainstay at Flames games, and at many events throughout Calgary and southern Alberta ever since.
