Gritty makes grand entrance into Flyers home opener

He came in like a giant, furry, orange wrecking ball.

Gritty, the Philadelphia Flyers mascot, made a grand entrance to his first-ever home game at Wells Fargo Center on Tuesday.
The
Internet's favorite mascot
didn't disappoint in his game debut, dropping from the rafters, swinging to and fro as the arena sound system blasted the Miley Cyrus hit "Wrecking Ball."

Gritty got all the way to the ice in 25 seconds.
NBC Sports Philadelphia also shared their version of the entrance.

Ahead of the Flyers home opener against the San Jose Sharks, Gritty got into a bit of a trash-talking, or
video-making rather, dustup with his counterpart, SJ Sharkie
.
This is just the latest big moment for Gritty, who has already
appeared on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon"
and has had his likeness inked
on at least one Flyers fan permanently
.
You do you, Gritty.
