HERSHEY, Pa. — He scored the Calder Cup-winning overtime goal for the Hershey Bears and struck a pose after scoring a goal that is now going to be immortalized with the release of his bobblehead. Mike Vecchione's "Roar" is the featured pose on the latest Bears bobblehead to be handed out to the first 4,000 fans at Giant Center on Tuesday night.
"They did an amazing job," Vecchione smiled." "The flow is nice, the little scruff around the mouth, the roar is perfect. The stance is exactly how I would be so I'm going to give it an A plus."
The limited supply of 4,000 bobbleheads is expected to go fast. Vecchione admitted he's fielding a lot of requests for "Little Vecchs."
"Everybody wants one, everyone has been asking," he said. "I'm trying to pull some strings here. It's just a really cool piece and a tremendous honor to be part of such a cool experience."
The Bears host the Providence Bruins on Tuesday with a 7 p.m. faceoff. FOX43 will broadcast the game on FOX43.2 Antenna TV.
