What time is it? It’s Gritty time! “It me.” The Flyers struck gold on September 24, 2018, the day Gritty was born. Since then, Gritty has been on every talk show known to man, has run naked during a game, and has propelled himself down from the rafters of the Wells Fargo Center. Gritty just so happens to be the most popular mascot in hockey, much like the Phillie Phanatic is in baseball.
Flyers fans love Gritty, and so does a local artist Dan Duffy who runs websites artofwords.com and phillywordart.com. He made the neatest impersonation of Gritty one has ever seen.
