The only way Connor Bedard 's stick for the Discover NHL Winter Classic could get more Chicago is if it were sticking out of a deep dish pizza.

The Chicago Blackhawks forward had some sick details on his lumber for the outdoor game, held this season at the legendary Wrigley Field, home of Major League Baseball's Chicago Cubs.

Bedard's stick not only had blue-and-red Cubs style font, it featured a street map of Chicago and the Wrigley Field seating chart. Bedard's signature is also emblazoned on one side.

All the stick needs to do now to become a full Chicago resident is grow a mustache and to learn how to say "Da Bears."
