Gritty has carved himself quite a reputation among NHL mascots. The orange… thing… has taken the league by storm in his first few years, often seen terrorizing opponents and… just about everyone.

Saying that, there’s definitely a softer side to Gritty as well. We saw that side come out in the most festive of ways on Wednesday when “Gritty Claus” took part in some holiday activities.

We’re totally on board with Gritty in general, but Gritty Claus is maybe our favourite of his many, many personalities.
