The expert jury of the mascot competition selected the work of Ella Amatuni as the best. The winner is the Armenian Gampr, a breed of guardian dogs known for their strength, endurance, and agility. It will become the symbol of the upcoming ice hockey championship.
"The Armenian Gampr is a unique breed that has served as a protector of people for centuries. Its powerful physique, thick fur, and unwavering loyalty make it the perfect symbol for the championship. I am confident that it will perfectly convey the spirit of the competition," said Ella about her work.
