Job Opening: Oilers Mascot

The Oilers are offering a new job with the organization, on the heels of (much smaller) coaching announcements in the last 48 hrs:

We are currently seeking enthusiastic and motivated individuals to help promote our team as our mascot at various events in the community. No experience as a mascot is necessary; however, preference will be given to those with some acting or public promotion experience. • Hours of work will vary, including mornings, evenings and weekends. • $12/hour. • Costume supplied. Training is provided for those who enjoy greeting/working with families and the general public
.  

I have to say, the Oilers must be footing a lot of overhead these days, if all they can offer for the honor of dressing up in a fuzzy (?)  costume of a design yet to be revealed is $12/hr in Alberta's economy...

Say it ain't so!!!
The Oilers were one of the few franchise that hadn't stooped to the level of mascot baffoonery. I actually recall an interview with, I think, Kevin Lowe where he prided the organisation in this regard.
Cheerteam, t-shirt slinging twentysomethings is one thing... fuzzy mascots is just ugh!
Thumbs down!

Now here's a role on this team that Dustin Penner could really excel at.
