Notre Dame Leprechaun goes down HARD during Winter Classic pregame ceremony

In case you’re still shaking off the festivities of yesterday evening, this is your reminder that the Boston Bruins and Chicago Blackhawks are currently battling it out at Notre Dame stadium for the 2019 NHL Winter Classic.

Prior to the game, the famous Notre Dame Fighting Irish Leprechaun took to the ice to try to fire up the crowd at the historic stadium but… well let’s just say that this leprechaun needs to practice his backward pivots…

LEPRECHAUN DOWN! LEPRECHAUN DOWN! LEPRECHAUN DOWN!

Somebody alert the authorities! 

In all seriousness, the Leprechaun seemed to shake things off quickly and didn’t miss a beat for the rest of the pregame ceremony, but you can BET that this guy will NEVER live this down…
