Chuba Hubbard is a huge Edmonton Oilers supporter
Hubbard plays for the city of Carolina in the NFL, which also has an NHL team, the Carolina Hurricanes. However, despite that, the Panthers running back has remained a firm supporter of the Edmonton Oilers and hopes they win their fifth Stanley Cup soon.
The running back has often been spotted at Rogers Place cheering for the Oilers whenever he's back home:
“I’ve only been home twice in the last two or three years, I went back home and saw my family. I was able to go to an Oilers game, they always treat me really well. They treat me pretty good, I ain’t gonna lie,” Hubbard said (via 3downnation).
“Hockey’s big, I took my girl back to Canada with me and she was like: ‘This is crazy, this is like a college or NFL game, I didn’t expect this.’ I was like: ‘Yeah, it’s the same atmosphere.’ It’s definitely big up there.”
Chuba Hubbard was selected No. 126 by the Carolina Panthers in the 2021 NFL Draft. He's been with the team for the last three years and has recorded 11 career touchdowns in 45 career games.
