Meet the Oredockers, a unique and intriguing mascot that you won't find just anywhere. The Oredockers are the proud symbol of Ashland High School in Wisconsin, and their story is pretty cool. Back in the 1940s, Ashland still had some ore docks along the shores of Lake Superior, which were crucial for loading iron ore onto ships. To honor this local history, the school decided to change their mascot from the Purgolders to the Oredockers in 1948. This name isn't just a nod to the past; it also reflects the strong industrial roots of the community. So, if you're ever in northern Wisconsin, you might hear someone cheering for the Oredockers – a mascot that's as resilient and hardworking as the people it represents 🏆.
