Gritty officiates 'Pups on Ice' during intermissions of Flyers game

Gritty spent his first Philadelphia Flyers Stanley Cup Playoff game entertaining some fellow furry friends at home.

The Flyers mascot officiated a game of puppies for Gritty's Pups on Ice that aired during the first and second intermission of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round between the Flyers and Montreal Canadiens.

Gritty and the Flyers teamed up with Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society for a series of dog hockey games. Footage from the game will air during each intermission, and the Flyers will feature a standout puppy that can either be fostered or adopted.

Gritty had specific guidelines for how he'd ref the game, declaring "five for fighting, 15 for pooping." He had a relatively uneventful opening period but did call a penalty shot when one pup closed his jaw over the puck in the crease.
