Calgary Flames affiliate team apologizes after mascot unveiling goes horribly wrong
Description
October 9, 2014
The Adirondack Flames have issued an apology after a video circulated of their new mascot “Scorch”.
In the video, the mascot appears to be dancing over the corpse of a dead firefighter.
The Adirondack Flames based out of Glens Falls, NY are the farm team for the Calgary Flames.
[caption id="attachment_1608100" align="alignnone" width="600"]<a href="https://globalnews.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/10421479_10152738003462974_668169863168605605_n.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1608100" src="https://globalnews.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/10421479_10152738003462974_668169863168605605_n.jpg" alt="Scorch the mascot is pictured after he "overtook" a fire fighter." width="600" height="800" /></a> Scorch the mascot is pictured after he "overtook" a fire fighter.[/caption]
In a statement, President Brian Petroveck says the video was intended to show that Scorch was the last ember left after a tragic fire that destroyed much of Glens Falls in 1864.
The fire destroyed the several of the town's main buildings including the Glen's Falls Hotel and all of the stores in the village at the time.

Petroveck also says that the organization recognizes that those that face fires on a daily basis are true heroes.
