The Philadelphia Flyers have introduced their new mascot as the NHL preseason kicks off and it is both terrifying and hilarious.

It’s a face only a mother could love, and this googly-eyed beast is taking social media by storm. Gritty is the new mascot for the Philadelphia Flyers hockey team, and his face is getting a mixed reaction. Inside Edition caught up with Gritty, a mascot of few words, but his gestures say everything. Gritty’s debut on the ice was a little slippery, but he proved to be better at dancing when he made the rounds in his TV debut on CBS-3 in Philadelphia.

Gritty, the Philadelphia Flyers’ not-so-lovable new mascot made his debut Monday.

Gritty is a fuzzy, orange, seven-foot-tall muppet-gone-wrong whose father was a “bully,” according to Philadelphia’s official mascot’s page. He emerged from the depths of the Wells Fargo Center due to the arena’s recent construction, and now he’s here to eat snow “straight from the Zamboni machine” and, apparently, scare away anyone who was once interested in attending a Flyers game.
