The National Hockey League and its players' union reached a tentative agreement to end the league's 113-day lockout on Sunday.

Just when you thought you'd seen every awesome sports mascot ever, allow us present the Deutsche Eishockey Liga mascot, "Sharky." Sharky is the official mascot of the Kölner Haie (Cologne Sharks), and he just might be the best break-dancing giant shark we've ever seen...
