It is often abbreviated to CBK, the name of this Canadian hardcore punk band from Winnipeg.
In the course of time many people have received the honorable label Comeback Kid (to name just two: US ex-president Bill Clinton and his athletic compatriot, quarterback Joe Montana), but the Canadian band specifically refers here to their fellow-Canadian, ice hockey hero Mario Lemieux (born 1965).
Lemieux - one of the world's best hockey players - retired in 1997, then changed his mind in 2000 and returned to the ice.
Mario by the way had more nicknames: in Canada, people knew him as Buries It, Le Magnifique, Super Mario, The Magnificent (One) and (because of his player's number) Le Soixante-Six.
