Nenshi said he’s working on a bet that will “not involve singing” before he broke into a brief tune.

The mayor put on his musical show at an unrelated event Thursday, where the finance minister and Calgary NDP MLA also lent his support to the team.

Joe Ceci offered an enthusiastic “Go Flames Go!”

Two years ago, Nenshi serenaded city councillors with an upbeat rendition of “Let it Go” from Disney’s Frozen while wearing a Ducks jersey, after losing a bet with Anaheim Mayor Tom Tait during the 2015 playoff run.

At the time, the mayor was joined by the Calgary Children’s Choir, Calgary Stampede Showband, Cowtown Opera Company, Revv52, ONCUE, beatboxer James “Peterpot” McInnis and Calgary-based a cappella group The Heebee-jeebees.
