Narrative:
Many people know this successful young man as Stormy, but very few know him as George. George was born in 1984 in Winston Salem, North Carolina. He first started mascoting at the age of 13 for the Minor League Winston Salem Warthogs. After going to college for two years, he seized an opportunity to mascot for the Harlem Globetrotters. For the next two years George was literally “globe trotting” the world! However, after the two years he soon found out that all of the traveling had taken a toll on his personal life so he decided he needed to find a new path. Soon after leaving the Globetrotters he heard that the Carolina Hurricanes were hiring for Stormy. George was hired, and he immediately joined a recreational hockey team to beef up his ice skating skills so that he can land those spins and 10 foot jumps off of platforms. George likes the Stormy suit, because unlike baseball in the summer, it doesn’t get too hot!
