With the state of New Jersey celebrating its 236th birthday on Monday, it’s only fitting for the New Jersey Devils to be involved in the celebration.

In a video posted on social media, Devils forward Nico Hischier and team mascot NJ Devil joined other famous New Jerseyans in wishing their state a happy birthday.

“Just wanted to wish the Garden State a happy birthday,” Hischier said in the video.

Meanwhile, NJ Devil popped the confetti to celebrate the big day.

Other New Jersey celebrities such as Tommy DeVito and Justin Pugh from the New York Giants, “Jersey Shore” star Mike Sorrentino and Tony-nominated actor Kevin Chamberlin also took part in the birthday video.

We’re sure they all had a taylor ham (or pork roll), egg and cheese bagel to help celebrate.
