One local hospital will again use the biggest day in North American sports to welcome its newborns.
Windsor Regional Hospital will, for the fifth year in a row, use Super Bowl Sunday to offer custom-made "football cocoons" to any babies born on Sunday.
The knitted football wraps, complete with a matching cap, will be created by Fae Gillespie, president of the Windsor Regional Hospital Auxiliary, according to Steve Erwin, the hospital's vice-president of corporate communications.
Erwin said even though the hospital does not know how many, if any, babies will be born on Sunday, families with a new arrival will be invited to a photo session Sunday afternoon before Super Bowl LIII begins in Atlanta between the New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Rams.
