Dr_Mayus Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 OK I know that there is like 3 people on this site that actually know who Dancing Gabe is but he has been Winnipeg's unofficial mascot for over 2 decades. Some Winnipeggers got upset that the "green men" of Vancouver got put into the game yet our Super Fan isn't in the game (despite being a staple at every Winnipeg Sporting event for over 2 decades) so they started a Change.org petition. So I know these Change.org things are bullshit but if you would like to try and get EA to add in a local icon, that would be pretty cool https://www.change.org/p/ea-games-get-dancing-gabe-in-ea-sports-nhl-17?recruiter=395536411 (the article) http://www.metronews.ca/news/winnipeg/2015/10/07/fans-fight-to-get-dancing-gabe-into-eas-sports-next-nhl-video-ga.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowSigmaX Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I could get behind this, I think stuff like this should be include in all sports games not just NHL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Mayus Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 I could get behind this, I think stuff like this should be include in all sports games not just NHL. That's the thing. I know quite a few people who only buy Madden or NHL or whatever and play it the whole year. These fans get into these games because they really like them. So how cool would it be if they are playing and stuff they are familiar with is in the game. I actually don't play sports games but can anyone who does tell me if they yell TRUE NORTH during O' Canada at the Jets games? Because little things like that should be in it (happens at about 30 seconds in ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PREDRAG-K Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Eh, I'll sign it. Why not? Slightly off topic question: Are the "green men" based off It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia's green man? Because if so, that's pretty awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BhekifaZ Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 If the green men got put into an NHL game Dancing Gabe definitely deserves to be put in one. He's a Winnipeg sports icon despite not being one of the athletes, and I think it would be pretty cool to see him in the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dragon that likes chips...everything i knew about dragons just flew out the window... Yeah surprisingly human food tastes very good, so most of us don't bother eating humans anymore. Especially since they used to wear heavy armor. That gets stuck between the teeth and it's a nightmare to get it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Mayus Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 LOL I can see why Winnie the Pooh is there, but what about the other 2? Lt. Harry Colebourn was a Canadian soldier that donated a Black Bear (named Winnie) to the London zoo which became the inspiration for Winnie the Pooh. Colebourn was from Winnipeg Homer Simpson is based of Matt Groening father who hails from Winnipeg Actually my step-dad's ex-wife is a Groening Iam Flemming largely based the character of James Bond on William Stephenson who was born in Winnipeg So in other words "Back to Winnipeg" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
