The Griddy is worldwide at this point, but it has strong ties to Minnesota. Justin Jefferson, who first brought the dance to LSU, celebrates every touchdown with the Vikings by hitting his signature celebration.

On Saturday, Maple Grove High School’s Chayton Fischer did his best impression and it was incredibly lit.

When it comes to hockey, and high school sports in general, there are very few atmospheres like ‘The Tournament’ in the North Star State. 20,000 fans pack into the Xcel Center and go absolutely bonkers as the best high school hockey teams in the state battle it out on the ice.

As is tradition at The Tourney, players shave their heads, dye their hair, or turn their lettuce into mullets. Fischer is one of them, and his haircut for the 2022 state playoffs is WILD.

During Saturday’s Class AA state championship game, Fischer coupled his legendary hair with a legendary celebration after scoring with just under five minutes left in the third period. When his teammates skated over to celebrate, Fischer shooed them off so that he could have centerstage.

With the entire city of Maple Grove going wild in the stands, he hit The Griddy on the ice.

The celly could not have been better and the on-ice angle is so cold.

This is the first time on record that a hockey player hit The Griddy with skates on and it could not be cooler.
