When the Swope Park Rangers moved into Swope Soccer Village, they had little idea that their mascot was already waiting for them. But one day, when a ball got kicked into the trees after training, curiosity got the better of four of the club’s players, and Hat Trick Harry emerged from the forest.

Quickly welcomed into the club, although not necessarily by everyone who caught a glimpse of him after his first public sighting, Hat Trick Harry has been a fixture on the sidelines for the defending Western Conference champions. His powerful shot has yet to be seen in live action, though, with Mark Anthony Gonzalez’s play last season having kept him on the bench.
