A bet between the mayors of Anaheim and Chicago on the Western Conference Finals between their cities hockey teams was announced.
If the Anaheim Ducks win, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said he will make a contribution to ACT Anaheim, which provides grants to address gaps in services for Anaheim youths, and send craft beer from Slap Shot Brewing Co., a barrel of Garett’s Popcorn and neon green relish from Vienna Beef “for a true Chicago-style hot dog.”
If the Chicago Blackhawks win, Anaheim Mayor Tom Tait said he will make a contribution to Becoming a Man, an organization for at-risk boys from seventh through 12th grades, and send a variety of craft beer from Anaheim’s breweries and a case of Anaheim chilies to Chicago.
The bet was announced Sunday before the start of the Ducks’ 4-1 victory over the Blackhawks at Honda Center in Game 1 of the best-of-seven series.
