It’s been almost two months since the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup, and the players are spending their time in different ways.

Forward Andrew Shaw gave a hint to what he’s been doing since the end of the season. On Wednesday, Shaw tweeted he’s addicted to the USA Network series, Suits.

The show, about a lawyer who never went to law school, has caught the attention of many since 2010.

So I am officially addicted to suits! Should have watched it years ago!

Shaw will have plenty of time to finish the television series as the Blackhawks training camp doesn’t begin until Sept. 18.
