This week, the Chicago Blackhawks defeated the Boston Bruins in a nail-biting Game Six, winning their second Stanley Cup in three years. It’s a huge win for Chicago, though Boston certainly kept the series interesting. With hockey players and fans being the superstitious types though, there are already conspiracies regarding the Blackhawk’s hard-won victory.

The last time the Blackhawks won, RealWheels built a custom Camaro coupe. Coincidence, or new tradition?
So while one time might be coincidence, twice is a conspiracy for some Blackhawks fans, and right now the theories center on a custom Chevy Camaro convertible built by Chicago-based RealWheels Corp, reports Kicking Tires. RealWheels also built a custom Camaro (though that was a coupe) when the Blackhawks last won Lord Stanley’s Cup in 2010. Coincidence? Some certainly think not.
Hockey is full of wonderful, silly traditions, perhaps most famously the Detroit Red Wings’ fans tendency to hurl a live octopus onto the ice during playoff games. This tradition is a bit less… gross than that.
RealWheels is a custom parts maker, focusing mostly on big truck wheels and hubcaps. But the guys in charge of RealWheels are apparently big hockey fans, and when they were asked to build a custom Camaro to promote the Chicago Blackhawks, they were only too happy to oblige. Just a few months after the Camaro debuted, the Blackhawks won their fourth Stanley Cup over the Philadelphia Flyers.
Then this year, RealWheels again rolled out a custom Blackhawks-themed Camaro just weeks before the Stanley Cup finals. And once again the Blackhawks won, this time over the Bruins, launching what may become an all-new tradition in the Windy City of customizing Camaros ahead of Stanley Cup games. Sounds like an awesome superstition to have.
