Original Cool Bird retires after nearly two decades with Seattle Thunderbirds

Todd Kamp, the man who's brought Seattle Thunderbirds mascot Cool Bird to life for nearly two decades, sat down for his first interview since retiring and passing the baton to the next Cool Bird.

One of the most recognizable mascots in the Seattle sports community calls accesso ShoWare Center his home. And for the past two decades, one man has brought the Seattle Thunderbirds' Cool Bird to life, at the arena and throughout the community, including taking part in KING 5's annual Home Team Harvest food drive.

Todd Kamp has decided to retire and pass the baton to the next Cool Bird. He sat down with Margaret for his first ever interview. He was joined by Ian Henry, the Seattle Thunderbirds' Director of Public and Media Relations, and the newest Cool Bird.

The T-Birds have two home games this week:

Tuesday, December 5 - 7:05 pm versus the Saskatoon Blades

Friday, December 8 - 7:35 pm versus the Tri-City Americans

Connect with the Seattle Thunderbirds on Facebook and Twitter: @SeattleTBirds
