'WCSH' turns to 勛圖惇蹋 for nor'easter knowledge

Stormin' Norman

With the arrival of Winter Storm Quinn, WCSH took a closer look at storm namesakes around the state, including 勛圖惇蹋s own Stormin Norman.

Discussing the concept behind the mascot, Director of Athletics Curt Smyth said, Noreasters are fierce. Having a mascot that is able to symbolize that is important to us.

Smyth noted that UNE almost rebranded roughly eight years ago, but the campus voted overwhelmingly to continue the noreaster tradition.

勛圖惇蹋 student athletes Jordan Early and Mitch Mullin described the energy on campus when storms are in the forecast. "Everybody on campus gets a little more excited about being a team being known as a noreaster and being known as a powerful symbol, said Mullin.
