Philadelphia Flyers: The Gritty Era is here and already awesome

Just about a week ago, the Philadelphia Flyers launched a series of videos on their social media accounts where they had Wells Fargo Center security and a private investigator looking for a “culprit” who had been leaving orange fur and Flyers related gear all around the stadium.

The investigation concluded yesterday.

The team revealed a new mascot named “Gritty” and he has quite the backstory. His father was a “bully” and some of those tendencies passed on through Gritty.

He claims he’s been living in the Wells Fargo Center for years, but the new construction exposed his secret hiding place.
