When we head out on Megunticook Lake for early morning practice, the loons are usually there too. Their calls echo across the water while we row, and it feels like they’re part of the team’s routine every day. Over time, seeing them became something we all looked forward to. They’re a constant reminder that we share the lake, and we’ve learned to respect their space the same way we respect the water.
That connection is what inspired our mascot, Loonie. He’s based on the real loons we see every day, but with a rowing twist. Just like us, Loonie carries an oar and wears the Megunticook Rowing uniform. He represents the strength and focus we try to bring to every practice, while also reminding us to appreciate where we row and the wildlife around us.
Loonie is a symbol of Megunticook Lake, the team, and the community that comes together on the water each day.
