In celebration of National Girlfriend Day, the Winnipeg Sea Bears officially introduced a new member to their mascot family: Nanuq. The team unveiled Nanuq on Friday during its game against Saskatchewan Rattlers, sporting jersey number 43 — inverse of Churchill’s iconic number 34. The announcement came via a social media post featuring a video chronicling Churchill’s romantic journey, culminating in a “hard launch” of his relationship with Nanuq. The video shows the two mascots sharing sweet moments, from exchanging flowers to playing basketball and enjoying a date night. CTV News has reached out to the Sea Bears for more details about Nanuq and is awaiting a response.
