Patrick Warburton, aka Puddy from Seinfeld, was rinkside at a New Jersey Devils hockey game in the US.
Fans of the sitcom will remember David Puddy's passionate love for the team from a season six episode called The Face Painter.
In the episode Puddy, his on-off girlfriend Elaine and the gang went to watch the Devils take on the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden.

He was revealed to be pretty intense about his hockey team, even painting his face for the occasion.
An iconic moment was created at the Prudential Centre in Newark on Tuesday when the New Jersey Devils took on the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Warburton, in full Puddy mode, walked out onto the ice as a special guest of honour.
Dressed in his team colours and sporting Devils face paint like Puddy did on the show, Patrick came out to the crowd during the puck-drop ceremony before the game.

Being the good sport that he is, he whipped off his shirt to reveal a huge red D (the letter D – get your minds out of the gutter) painted on his chest.
Fans at the game were given a cute bobblehead of the character from the show, which also starred Jerry Seinfeld and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
Sadly the Devils lost 4-3 to Pittsburgh, but it didn't take the shine off Patrick's crowd-pleasing appearance.
Seinfeld, about a neurotic stand-up comedian in New York City, ran for nine seasons between 1989 and 1998.
