                I seems to me like "National Doughnut Day" occurs multiple times a year.
                Steelers : IX, X, XIII, XIV, XL, XLIII
                Penguins : 1990/91, 1991/92, 2008/09, 20015/16, 2016/17
                Pirates : 1909, 1925, 1960, 1971, 1979
                Panthers (FB): 1915, 1916, 1918, 1929, 1931, 1934, 1936, 1937, 1976
                Panthers (MBB): 1927/28, 1929/30

                  1st of July is also Canada day.
