The Chicago Blackhawks have the Stanley Cup, but Blackhawks forward Bryan Bickell also has a Stanley Pup.

This isn’t the first time the couple has helped dogs. They founded the Bryan & Amanda Bickell Foundation to help raise awareness for dogs labeled as pit bulls after the city of Chicago considered banning the breed in 2012.

The couple has posed in several photographs with the dogs and the Stanley Cup. According to CBS Chicago, Bickell has also recruited several of his teammates, including Jonathan Toews and Marian Hossa, to pose with adoptable dogs for a calendar this year.
