The Philadelphia Flyers’ famed orange mascot Gritty has stolen the show on Thursday by ‘proposing’ to Alain Vigneault, the newly-hired coach of the NHL team.
The seven-foot-tall fluffy monster welcomed Vigneault on Thursday afternoon during the coach’s introduction to the Philadelphia media.
The mascot greeted the new team boss in his true 'Gritty' fashion by getting down on one knee and ‘proposing’ to Vigneault with a new whistle.
The 57-year-old hockey specialist gladly accepted the gift before demonstrating the sparkling whistle to the cameras.
“He said yes!” Gritty wrote on its Twitter page, while also posting pictures of the unforgettable proposal.
Vigneault was officially appointed the Flyers’ coach on Monday, replacing counterpart Scott Gordon, who has parted ways with the team.
