Add another star athlete to the list of Blackhawks supporters during the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

We've seen Bryce Harper sporting Blackhawks attire in Chicago when the Washington Nationals were in town late May, and now Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt is getting in on the action.

The NFL's Defensive Player of the Year tweeted a selfie Saturday afternoon before the Blackhawks take on the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final, showing his support for a team he grew up rooting for.

Wait, a Red Wings and Blackhawks fan? With limited characters on Twitter, Watt elaborated on his Instagram page:

As a kid growing up in Wisconsin, we didn't have our own team and I didn't know what a fair-weather fan was, I just liked watching good hockey. So I supported both the Red Wings and the Blackhawks. Rooting for the Hawks in the Cup.

Welcome aboard, J.J. Chicago is a welcoming city.
