Sonic Thunderdog
When you head to a game, you’ll feel the powerful cheers and chants echoing throughout INTRUST Bank Arena; it’s no wonder the team is called the Thunder. Helping hype the crowd is their mascot, Sonic Thunderdog. T-Dog runs around INTRUST throwing prizes and hanging out with the Thunder’s incredible fan base. Sometimes you can catch him being ornery and cruising around in the Zamboni. Thunderdog has been pumping up Thunder fans for more than 20 years.
