During Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final, newly acquired Bears receiver Eddie Royal was excited for the Blackhawks to take the ice.
Royal, who played in San Diego last season where there isn’t a professional hockey team, said the Blackhawks have turned him into a hockey fan.

The Blackhawks have gained a lot of Chicago bandwagon fans throughout the playoffs, including the entire Cubs team. Royal was the first member of the Bears to publicly say he’s a Blackhawks supporter.
