Boomer the Badger has become more than just a mascot for Brock University. Boomer embodies the spirit and pride of the entire campus. Boomer unites students, alumni and the community to foster a strong sense of identity and belonging. The community can rely on Boomer to boost morale at events and create lasting traditions that inspire school pride year-round.
More than 40 years later, Brock’s mascot has become the iconic Boomer the Badger and can be found pumping up the crowd at playoff games and major University events.
