Did Glenview's Bear Help Win the Stanley Cup?

The Jackman Park bear wore a Blackhawks jersey during the 2010 playoffs too.

The Glenview Park District decorated the Jackman Park bear with a Blackhawks jersey in honor of the Stanley Cup playoffs. I bet that's why Chicago won this year.

“We are proud to support the Chicago Blackhawks through this unbelievable season and we look forward to topping it off with a Stanley Cup win," a park district spokesperson told Patch on Monday afternoon, a few hours before the big win.

The bear donned his jersey when the Blackhawks won the 2010 Stanley Cup, too.

The lucky charm isn't perfect though, he had a Chicago Bears jersey on when they traveled to the Super Bowl in 2007.
