King Redoubt King Redoubt is the eighth Alaskan Malamute to have served as the Husky mascot. He leads the football team out of the tunnel before every home game and wanders the sidelines during the contest accompanied by trainer Kim Cross and several of his children, who act as handlers. The previous mascots were Frosty I (1922-29), Frosty II (1930-36), Wasky (1946), Wasky II (1947-53), Ski (1954-57), Denali (1958), King Chinook (1959-68), Regent Denali (1969-80) and Sundodger (1981-91). The Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity acquired the first dog, Frosty I, and acted as its handlers. In 1959 Harry Cross, a professor of law at the University, took over the dog handler duties with King Chinook. Chinook’s first appearance was the Idaho game that season. Cross’ son, Kim, watched the dog on the sidelines.
