Rubber Duckies: A New Vancouver Goldeneyes' Fan Trend Takes Flight

Rubber duckies. They're the favorite bath-time companion for Sesame Street's Ernie. They also crowd the dashboard of Jeep owners who participate in the friendly trend of Jeep ducking, or Duck Duck Jeep if you prefer.

More recently however, the little yellow duckies have taken flight over the frozen pond of Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver landing on the ice after wins by the PWHL's Vancouver Goldeneyes.

"I think it definitely just shows how much this fan base and started kind of a bunch of new traditions here," said Canadian Olympian Sophie Jaques after watching the duckies rain down onto the ice following her overtime winner in Vancouver's season finale.

Hockey fans have been throwing items on the ice, some unwanted, some wanted, for decades including rubber rats in Florida and octopus in Detroit. This season with the PWHL's expansion Vancouver Goldeneyes, a new item rained down, rubber duckies.
