The next time you see Calvin Pickard in his goaltending getup, you will see him with a fresh new piece of gear. Pickard, who was acquired by the Flyers after being claimed off of waivers from the Toronto Maple Leafs, has fully embraced his new home with the design of his latest mask, which features someone else who is relatively new to the Philadelphia franchise.
That’s correct, this new mask features none other than everyone’s favorite mascot, Gritty. The horrifyingly adorable orange creature that swept the nation by storm is making his way onto the ice, where he will protect the face of the Flyers’ newest goaltender.
