Blackhawks fan sits between Toews, Kane in spectacular Halloween costume

Luke Fanella somehow found a way to top his awesome Zamboni costume from last year.

The 14-year-old Naperville, Illinois native sported another Chicago Blackhawks-themed costume, which mimics him sitting on their bench alongside captain Jonathan Toews and forward Patrick Kane.
Fanella has a leg-muscle disorder, which makes it difficult for him to walk, but his uncle Jim Delgenio managed to build a Blackhawks Zamboni around his wheelchair last year for Halloween. The team caught wind of his spectacular costume and invited him to sit on the Zamboni during its home game against the Montreal Canadiens. This year's variety, which Delgenio also created and took 30 hours to finish, was born from that behind-the-scenes trip to the Blackhawks game.
"Last year I was talking about seeing the Blackhawks bench looked like and seeing their sticks and what they looked at out on the ice," Fanella told NHL.com while trick-or-treating Wednesday. "I told my uncle that, and he made it look awesome."

During Fanella's trip to his family's lakehouse in Michigan, he, his uncle and his mother Wendy developed and finalized the plan, and made it bigger and better from last year.
"During the summer, I was talking with my mom, and I was like 'I like the bench,' and she was like 'let's do the bench then,'" Fanella said. "My uncle came back with a drawing and what bench looks like and finalized it, and it's pretty awesome."
The costume features wooden boards and glass behind him, as well as cardboard cutouts of Toews and Kane sitting next to him. Kane has been Fanella's favorite player ever since he met and the dynamic Blackhawks forward a few years ago.
"Toews is the captain, and I felt I needed to put the captain on there," Fanella said. "Kaner has a backstory. I met him a couple of years ago, and he gave me signed stick and from there he's had a special place in my heart."
Clad in his Blackhawks jersey and white helmet, Fanella was a celebrity while trick-or-treating on Halloween, because of a news story that chronicled his costume. .
"Every house I went to wanted to take my picture," Fanella said. "Some were like 'I saw you on the news.'"
