A good reminder from meLVin that occasionally fans like to go from a URL to IRL (in real life). An online photo is nice, but an autographed card can be even nicer.

This is all about making connections, on and off the ice…. and on and offline.

Thanks for the popcorn and pictures Logan! 😄 We’ll work on getting that stick for ya buddy 👍🏒

I always love receiving Phan mail! If you’d like to send me a card, and popcorn 🍿 😉, my address is PPL Center, 701 Hamilton St, Allentown, PA 18101 (Attn. meLVin) pic.twitter.com/g0jLQsS99G

meLVin is thought to be the last remaining Puck-Nosed Pladottle, a fun-loving species that was common in the Lehigh Valley long ago.

After being rescued from the Dime Bank Building Vault on the site of the PPL Center, meLVin journeyed across the valley to find his heart, courage, and brain. The Lehigh Valley Phantoms decided to give him a home as their mascot.

Popcorn is meLVin’s favorite treat. He loves to chow down while watching Phantoms hockey games. Don’t offer this guy chocolate bars, he can’t stand the taste, plus penguins are by far his least-favorite flightless bird.
