TORONTO (AP) 鈥 Justin Bieber was one of the big stars of NHL All-Star Weekend, performing at a party he threw early in the week and actually getting on the ice prior to the 3-on-3 tournament Saturday.
Bieber was one of four celebrity captains, along with fellow Canadians Michael Bubl茅, Will Arnett and Tate McRae. He took part in warmups and was mic-ed up for the occasion.
鈥淚t鈥檚 been a minute 鈥 it鈥檚 so fun, though,鈥 Bieber said while skating. 鈥淭his is a dream.鈥

Bieber took a photo with and Connor McDavid, chatted with Elias Pettersson and got asked by Sergei Bobrovsky if he was actually playing. That would be a bit too far.
鈥淣o, just for warmups,鈥 Bieber said. 鈥淥therwise, I鈥檒l get hurt.鈥
All-Star 3-on-3 MVP Auston Matthews was a fan of having Bieber out there.
鈥淓verybody enjoyed it 鈥 he obviously really enjoyed it,鈥 Matthews said. 鈥淚t was a cool moment for him to get on the ice and snap it around with a couple of the fellas. I think everybody really got a kick out of that, honestly.”
Bieber wore a Super Mario Brothers-inspired mushroom coat behind the bench during the game, a nod at Bubl茅, who said Thursday night after the player draft that he was on mushrooms.
Matthews said players were joking that Boston Bruins coach Jim Montgomery should put on the coat. It stayed on Bieber, instead.
鈥淲e were loving it,鈥 Matthews said. 鈥淚f you鈥檙e up pretty high in the stands, there鈥檚 no doubt you could pick him out of a crowd pretty easily.鈥
