Here in Ottawa, Spartacat has made his mark as the mascot of the Ottawa Senators. The kids love him; the adults love him; and he always provides great entertainment as he moves around the stands, participates on ice during the intermission in the fun games, attends fundraisers and private events.The sports world is well known for having devoted fans, and they are encouraged to cheer on their team by their biggest fans (literally speaking!), their mascots.
This puzzle requires a bit of research. Most of the answers are available on Wikipedia with a couple of exceptions.
I've taken an even count of teams across the divisions in the league and some, but not all, of the mascots are represented here. A couple were shoo-ins, but hey!
To obtain the final coordinates, find the digital root (DR) of all the answers, unless otherwise directed, about each team's mascots. There are 1-3 questions for each mascot. Plug these numbers into the equation, and you'll have the final!
