Hamilton the Pig is Carolina Hurricanes Fans Good Luck Charm

Hamilton the Pig is Carolina Hurricanes Fans Good Luck Charm

Hey, it’s working!

The Carolina Hurricanes are in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and fans will do anything to make sure they win, including bringing out a pig for good luck.

Meet Hamilton, a 90-pound adopted pig, who has somehow been a good luck charm for the team.

When it’s the first #StanleyCup Playoff game at home in a decade, you bring everyone out.

He is friends with the team’s mascot, Stormy, who is also a pig. Kyle Eckenrode, Hamiltons’ human, called them “distant cousins”. But, he has yet to meet the players.

Whatever Hamilton is doing is working though, so keep it up!
