The mascot for the Yellowknife Wraiths is actually considered a collectors item by many big time movie buffs. Somehow the team managed to get ahold of the actual costume worn in the Scream movies by the murderous character in his famous white mask. The team has rebranded it slightly, so instead of wielding a knife and murdering people, the mascot instead wields T-shirt guns, footballs, and rally towels he gives to the fans. The mascot has received plenty of positive and negative attention since it's unveiling but one thing is for sure, it has been noticed. Many of the original cast and crew from the first Scream movie have been seen on the sidelines and in the crowd of Yellowknife games, taking pictures and waving at their old costume. Most mascots dont talk, but the Wraiths mascot has been known on occasion to dial the phone linking the players bench to the coordinators booth and when they pick up he speaks in the cryptic voice that he was known for in the movie. Telling the player to do better, or telling a coordinator to give the ball to somebody. Although the origin of the costume was a horror movie, it seems now that it has turned into a fun prankster of sorts that the fans are gravitating to.
