"Puck sweet puck"

— Hockey Bird, motto

Hockey Bird is a promotional bird that was designed by Toni Kysenius at Rovio Entertainment to be the official mascot for the 2012 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championships. He was revealed earlier in November 2011. Hockey Bird was only playable in Angry Birds Friends.

"For Rovio Entertainment, being a part of the hockey world championships is something new, and Hockey Bird is the right person to join the party. He’s the first Angry Bird who gets to break free from the Angry Birds game environment. His job is to bring bird energy to a big sports carnival and basically, be everywhere," says Toni Kysenius at Rovio.

On January 24, 2014, Rovio released a YouTube video announcing Hockey Bird's partnership with the NHL. According to the video, Hockey Bird was once part of the flock, but then left to follow his dream and become a professional hockey player.

His position is a left defenseman. He is 185 cm tall and weighs 108 kg. He likes fish sticks, waffles, and strawberry jam.

Appearance

Hockey Bird is a bird with white fur-looking feathers and grey belly feathers. He wears a black and grey NHL hockey hat, while sometimes wearing a 2012 Ice Hockey World Champions hat. At rare occasions, whenever Hockey Bird plays as arbitrator, he wears a whistle in his beak and his belly gets dark grey stripes.

Personality

Hockey Bird is a positive and enthusiastic bird when in front of a crowd. He likes to play fair and is very protective of the hockey puck. He only obeys the whistle and can be unpredictable outside of the rink.

Gameplay

In Angry Birds Friends, he could be found in the levels of the NHL All-Star Tournament, where he replaced Chuck, having the same momentum, speed and strength as him, along with the same sound. A screen with him can also be found in the levels, which is indestructible and destroys anything on contact. He was the first bird to replace Chuck, the second being Shakira.

Trivia

• His design is trademarked by Rovio under the Canadian Government, which is listed to be used as advertising for several items such as paint brushes, whisky, cigarettes, soap, and other merchandise.
• On third party selling sites such as eBay, Hockey Bird plush toys tend to go for upwards of $165.00-$250.00 for the keychain plush to $300.00 for the 7-inch version to $5,000 for the 32 inch versions.
• According to the current CEO of Rovio Alexandre Normand, Hockey Bird is a "Taboo Topic" at Rovio.
• Hockey Bird has an official stamp.
• He has his own song titled "Hockey Bird (In The Zone)", performed by DJ Slow and featuring Splurt.
