Youppi!

Youppi! is a famous mascot representing two professional sports teams in Montreal. Originally created in 1979 for the Montreal Expos baseball team, Youppi! was known for its bright, cheerful appearance resembling a large, fuzzy, orange creature. When the Expos moved and became the Washington Nationals, Youppi! was adopted by the Montreal Canadiens hockey team in 2005, making it one of the few mascots to serve multiple teams across different sports. Youppi! embodies team spirit, entertains fans, and enhances game-day excitement, becoming a beloved symbol of Montreal's sports culture.
