Poor, poor Harvey the Hound.
It turns out NHL fans are not fans of the Calgary Flames mascot, ranking him dead last in a poll of favourite team mascots across the league.

Despite dragging a few of the leagues’ mascots through the mud, 78 per cent of those polled said they generally like mascots and the same percentage like their own team’s mascot. Sixty-six per cent also think mascots add to the overall NHL experience and love how mascots interact with fans.
NY.bet polled 914 self-identified NHL fans from Canada and the U.S between the ages of 18 and 76.
