Moments with Belly

Belleville Sens Mascot Belly is always one of the stars of the show at CAA Arena, bringing the fun and energy, and handing out the best high-fives in the AHL! Here are some of Belleville Sen fans’ favourite moments with the beloved, furry, red ball of energy, Belly!

Fans’ Voice:

“My Favourite moment: Belly is awesome so fun and engaging with fans!”  – Janice

“Some personal highlights, spent my birthday at the game and spent the game in the party box suites, got my first jersey and got it signed at the red carpet events, the open practices were extremely fun and it was cool just to see the boys having fun.” – Jesse

Malcolm Subban’s Return to the Friendly City 

Malcolm Subban (and the whole Subban family) have always been popular in Belleville and the Bay of Quinte since the goaltender and his brothers, PK and Jordan, suited up for the former Belleville Bulls of the Ontario Hockey League in their junior days. But Malcolm’s stardom in the Bay of Quinte Region grew further when he returned to his junior home on an American Hockey League contract this season to help solidify the Senators’ crease. Subban would go on to make 24 appearances for Belleville Sens in 2024-25, with an 11-6-5 record, 3.13 goals against average, and 0.883 save percentage. 

Fans’ Voice:  

“Reuniting with our old friend Malcolm and our kiddos first B-Sens game. My husband (Ryan Bennett) and I are former employees of the Belleville Bulls and during our time, had the pleasure of working with all three of the Subban brothers. We were thrilled to finally get to the last game of the 24/25 season and caught up with Malcolm before the game. We brought along his old Bulls trapper that my daughter had her newborn photos taken in (12yrs ago!), and my son (7) actually sleeps with it as he is a goalie too. They were stoked to finally meet him in person, and of course he signed his old mitt. As always, Malcolm is a class act and we always appreciate his generosity and time.” – Sarah 

“Malcolm Subban’s first win as a Belleville Senator and first star honours. So great to see him put on a Belleville Jersey again after a stellar OHL career with the Belleville Bulls. It’s hard to imagine where the Senators season would have been without him, during 2024/25. The tandem of Merilainen/Subban was arguably the best in the league, and a pleasure to watch.” – Wayne
