Justin Bieber takes in warmups with 2024 NHL All-Stars ESPN

TORONTO -- Justin Bieber is all over NHL All-Star Weekend, which is being held in Toronto near where the superstar singer grew up playing hockey.

His fashion brand, Drew House, collaborated to design the players' All-Star jerseys.

He was a celebrity captain for his friend Toronto Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews's 3-on-3 squad, helping to draft that team at a special event on Thursday after what we assume were weeks of in-depth analytic research and scouting reports. Or maybe he just let the hockey players pick the hockey team.

But Bieber's a puckhead at heart. He got to live the dream on Saturday before the NHL All-Star Game as he took warmups with the stars.

"This is a dream." ????

He donned a blue jersey and skated with Team Matthews -- which included Maple Leafs teammates Mitch Marner, Morgan Rielly and William Nylander -- taking shifts and shots with his hockey heroes. He would occasionally chat with All-Stars on the ice, while taking time for photos at center ice.

Because let's face it: The All-Stars were also a little starstruck by Bieber. That included Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, who was delighted to see the singer suiting up before the game.

Alas, Bieber did not suit up for the game itself. But he did wear this coat behind the bench:

As Marner said: "This is a winnin' jacket."
