McCaw was one of four contestants taking part in the traditional 'Shoot the Puck' segment which takes place between periods and didn't look too uncomfortable taking shots from centre ice wearing a personalised Blackhawks jersey.

Rugby fans will be pleased to know that there were no embarrassing incidents - McCaw was correctly introduced as the All Blacks rugby captain - and he wasn't far off from winning the prize money of NZD$560,000.

Film star Cuba Gooding Jr. won last month with his third and final attempt before disrobing in front of a 20,000-strong crowd at the United Centre.

Other All Blacks in attendance included Cory Jane, Dan Carter, Julian Savea, Sam Whitelock, TJ Perenara, Victor Vito and Wyatt Crockett.

Asked in a televised interview what it meant to be playing in Chicago, McCaw said: "Chicago is a pretty cool town to sell out 60,000 tickets in, especially where they don't know much about rugby. It's pretty awesome."
