<p>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.</p>

<p>Bieber was one of four celebrity captains, along with fellow Canadians Michael Bublé, Will Arnett and Tate McRae. He took part in warmups and was mic-ed up for the occasion.</p>

<p>“It’s been a minute — it’s so fun, though,” Bieber said while skating. “This is a dream.”</p>

<p>Bieber took a photo with reigning MVP and skills competition champion Connor McDavid, chatted with Elias Pettersson and got asked by Sergei Bobrovsky if he was actually playing. That would be a bit too far.</p>

<p>“No, just for warmups,” Bieber said. “Otherwise, I’ll get hurt.”</p>

<p>All-Star 3-on-3 MVP Auston Matthews was a fan of having Bieber out there.</p>

<p>“Everybody enjoyed it — he obviously really enjoyed it,” Matthews said. “It 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.”</p>

<p>Bieber wore a Super Mario Brothers-inspired mushroom coat behind the bench during the game, a nod at Bublé, who said Thursday night after the player draft that he was on mushrooms.</p>

<p>Matthews said players were joking that Boston Bruins coach Jim Montgomery should put on the coat. It stayed on Bieber, instead.</p>

<p>“We were loving it,” Matthews said. “If you’re up pretty high in the stands, there’s no doubt you could pick him out of a crowd pretty easily.”</p>

Justin Bieber takes the ice, grabs the spotlight at NHL All-Star Weekend

<p>The 2023 NBA All-Star Weekend kicked off in Salt Lake City on February 17 with Ruffles All-Star celebrity game. Between the two teams playing in the Celebrity Game,&nbsp; Team Dwyane Wade stole&nbsp;a hard-fought 81-78 victory against Team Ryan. The talk of the game was NFL star DK Metcalf who impressed every one so much with his hooping skills that he was awarded the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the game. The game wasn't without drama as WWE Wrestler The Miz almost scored a game-winning buzzer-beater for Team Ryan. Nonetheless, the second-most star-studded All-Star Celebrity Game lived up to its expectations of drama, blitz, flying and some decent hooping with Metcalf being the highlight.</p>

<p>The Seattle Seahawks wide receiver, in his MVP performance, scored 20 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks for Team Dwyane Wade, which was being captained by the three-time NBA champ and Utah Jazz minority owner Wade. Metcalf's double-double was not the only thing to be noticed though, as the WR also showed off his skills with a bunch of dunks during the game. Even on defense, Metcalf continued to impress by blocking and sending back shots at regular interval. Here are some of the tweets showing Metcalf exploding in the All-Star Celebrity game:</p>
