The NJ Devil — the mascot for the New Jersey Devils — broke a window during a young boy's birthday party over the weekend when he got too enthusiastic while playing a parachute game.
When the game was finished, the mascot excitedly ran toward a window a little to hard, causing it to shatter.
Video footage shows all of the kids at the party staring in awe as the incident went horribly awry.
