In 1995, Wolfie was selected as the choice for Stony Brook University's new mascot by a 32-person committee made up of students, alumni, faculty and administrators.

[1][2] In 2005, Wolfie beat up J.J. Jumper, the NCAA's official basketball mascot, during an America East tournament game.

[4] Wolfie marched alongside the Stony Brook baseball team in the 2012 New York City Columbus Day Parade to commemorate the Seawolves' Cinderella run to the College World Series.

The well-publicized altercation came as Stony Brook faced its longtime New York rival Albany with a bid to the NCAA Tournament on the line.

[6] The Seawolf is described as a mythical sea creature from the Tlingit tribe with the head of a wolf and the fins of a killer whale.
