Pop star Justin Bieber was among the famous faces to take part in a celebrity charity match Saturday as part of the NHL All-Star Game weekend.
The Stratford, Ont.-born singer was part of a team roster coached by Wayne Gretzky that included actors Cuba Gooding Jr, and Tim Robbins. Carter Thicke, son of late Canadian actor Alan Thicke, was also part of the team and played in memory of his father who died last month and loved the game.
Battleship and Friday Night Lights star Taylor Kitsch played on the opposite team alongside several former NHLers led by Mario Lemieux. Proceeds from the match will go toward Echoes of Hope, an organization that works with at-risk and foster youth.
