Sydney Sweeney lands a center-ice shot for the Blackhawks

Her second shot goes in. Sydney Sweeney sends a puck from center ice straight through the bottom hole of a target board, then lifts her stick and both arms in celebration.

NHL on ESPN shared the Chicago Blackhawks clip with the invitation "Sign her up." It is a promotional on-ice appearance, not game action, but the little sequence has a proper sporting arc: practice, a miss to the left, then the correction that counts.

Before stepping into the arena, Sweeney takes a few practice swings in a back hallway and asks how big the target's holes are. The announcer introduces her through HBO's Euphoria, and she heads onto the ice wearing a Blackhawks jersey with "SWEENEY 19" on the back.

The Short reached roughly 27,000 views in seven hours, already well beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for this format. ESPN credits the Blackhawks' TikTok account for the footage.

After the successful shot, the crowd cheers and Sweeney runs over to hug a friend, stick still in hand.
