Blackhawks' secret stuff

Chicago Blackhawks

In the film "Space Jam," Michael Jordan and the Looney Tunes are being crushed by the Monstars. And that's when Bugs Bunny puts some tap water in a bottle labeled "Michael's Secret Stuff," and everyone gets a boost of confidence.
Well, this is kind of like that. Except it's not tap water -- it's vitamin D supplements, which is what the Chicago Blackhawks are taking.
PR Newswire reports: "According to my sources, improved athletic performance is only one of the benefits for the Blackhawk players. The other is a reduction in the number and severity of lower respiratory tract infections and a reduction in the number and severity of repetitive use injuries."
Apparently the Hawks physicians began diagnosing and treating vitamin D deficiencies about 18 months ago. Of course, there's no telling how much of an advantage if actually plays. But it's certainly an interesting topic of conversation, even if they aren't playing the Monstars.
The Chicago Blackhawks are the First Vitamin D Team in Modern Professional Sports History
You heard it here first folks, if the Hawks win the Cup it will be all due to the trainers. "SOURCE Vitamin D Council"
