The base of the raven and the undersides of the legs, tail and wings are lined with clear vinyl to protect it from getting wet or stuck to the ice. The girls can skate around and push the raven around on the ice during warm up and it can sit on the bench with them during the game to cheer them on. The wings are fun to move around to add animation like covering the eyes when the score of the game is close and the timers down to the last few minutes. The raven sits 20” tall and is so soft and hugable!
