The university's website notes that 1933 team captain Robert Haphey had the team's mascot named in his honor during the prior season. The team had procured an actual wildcat , and decided to name it after "the first player to score for NH." Haphey earned that honor, and the wildcat was given his nickname, Skippy.[15] Haphey served in the United States Army from 1934 to 1960, retiring as a lieutenant colonel with service in World War II and the Korean War —he died in November 1989 at age 81.[16]
