With the arrival of Winter Storm Quinn, WCSH took a closer look at storm namesakes around the state, including �ֲ���ý’s own “Stormin’ Norman.”

Discussing the concept behind the mascot, Director of Athletics Curt Smyth said, “Nor’easters are fierce. Having a mascot that is able to symbolize that is important to us.”

Smyth noted that �ֲ���ý almost rebranded roughly eight years ago, but the campus voted overwhelmingly to continue the nor’easter tradition.

�ֲ���ý 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 nor’easter and being known as a powerful symbol,” said Mullin.
