We discuss the local spin-triplet pairing among correlated fermions that is induced by the Hund's rule coupling in orbitally degenerate systems. The appearance of the spin-polarized superconducting phase makes the Stoner threshold a hidden critical point, since the pairing creates a small but detectable uniform magnetization even below this critical point.
