Gritty is already in mid-season form but who knew he'd be in a run for his money (or however Gritty gets paid), rinkside before the Flyers third preseason game?
Thursday night at the Wells Fargo Center, a mini Gritty was spotted learning the ropes from the mascot himself.
Once Gritty was over the initial shock of it all, he put his miniature self to the ultimate test and examined the authenticity of his fur and even threw a few classic moves his way.
It was like looking he was looking in a mirror - sort of. And you have to admit, the entire interaction is pretty adorable.
It's safe to say Gritty was impressed ... and if you can impress the best mascot in the NHL, you're certainly doing something right.
Stick taps to you, mini Gritty!
