DID YOU KNOW?

FIN is not a SHARK! I get many people calling me "Sharkie"!

You want a shark go to San Jose. I am all whale baby...even better I am a mammal and actually 'eat' fish.

I do many appearances every year, well over 100 a year, and this does not include games. I have made appearances at weddings, community events, and birthday parties (ranging from 1 to 90 years old). I even travel to places. I have been to Florida, New York, Montreal, and yuck, Toronto. Not to mention many places all over British Columbia. From my experiences this truly is B.C.'s team.

I get many people asking why I never come to their sections at games. I can only tell you that I do my best to visit everyone but I have a game night itinerary and sometimes it requires me to be at certain places at a specific time.

What do you shoot out of the prize cannon? I shoot Boston Pizza t-shirts with a free pizza coupon.

Who is your favorite player? I really do not have any favourites. I can tell you that they are a bunch of great guys.

FAST FACTS

• Killer whales have sound reception or hearing through the lower jaw through the soft tissue and bone surrounding the ear.
• Killer whales have acute vision both in and out of the water (especially for popcorn at GM Place).
• A Killer whale breathes through a single blowhole on the dorsal surface of its head.
