Claude Giroux is a class act on and off the ice. He and his wife Ryanne, welcomed the new addition to the Flyers family yesterday. Giroux is not only a leader on the ice, but he will be a leader at home, as well.

Gritty couldn’t have been happier for the Giroux family. He’s officially an uncle now, and Gritty flooded Giroux’s locker stall with gifts. Gritty wanted to be the best uncle he could be:

Congratulations to the Giroux family, enjoy your miracle. The Giroux family brought another Flyers fan into the world, and who knows he might end up being “Claude II” for the Flyers in the future.
