After checking out his first Chicago Bears game during Monday Night Football earlier this week, Bastian Schweinsteiger showed his support for the Chicago Blackhawks in the early stages of their 2017-18 season Thursday night.

Wearing his custom No. 31 Blackhawks sweater, Schweinsteiger was invited to take part in the Hawks' "Shoot The Puck" intermission tradition alongside country music artist Brandon Lay:

The Blackhawks fell to the Minnesota Wild, 5-2.
