Boomer is the official mascot of the Indiana Pacers, a professional basketball team that plays in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He appears at each of the Pacers' home games, at special events for the NBA, as well as at other community & sporting events in central Indiana. Bowser was a former mascot, in canine form, who worked in tandem with Boomer. The duo was broken up when Bowser was retired during the 2009-2010 season, after 8 years in the business. Mini-Boomer is a smaller, more youthful version of Boomer, presumably his "offspring", that performs with him at select games.
