The Philadelphia Flyers take pride in their history and toughness.
Players like Bobby Clarke, Dave "The Hammer" Schultz, Bob Kelly and Andre "Moose" Dupont are just a few players that are the faces of this pride franchise.
You can add one more face to that list, "Gritty."
What is "Gritty" you ask? He is a seven-foot, orange, fuzzy creature and was
officially introduced Monday as the team's new mascot during an event at the Please Touch Museum in Fairmount Park.
According to the tongue-and-cheek news release, "Gritty" was “found” by the team, uncovered during large-scale construction and renovations currently taking place at the Wells Fargo Center.
