The amount of joy mascots bring to live sports events is something special, and we don't always appreciate the entertainment value professional sports team mascots carry.

At the Stadium Series game in Pittsburgh between the Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers, Iceburgh the penguin spotted the real penguins waddling around on the ice surface. The mascot bolted over to see his fellow penguins, and played around with them as cameras captured the adorable moment.

Watch Iceburgh having fun with the penguins below:

 Now all we need are the Penguins' players out there playing with the penguins. That would be fun.
