Other celebrities serving as coaches at Sunday’s charity event include Snoop Dogg, Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn, Danny DeVito and Cobie Smulders. Kaskade, Jordan Davis and Lauren Spencer-Smith are set to perform as musical guests. The game will air on ESPN2 and ESPN+.
The exhibition will feature four teams, each with 13 players, competing in a single-elimination format. In addition to celebrities, the teams will include hockey professionals like Jeremy Roenick, Rob Blake, Mark Messier, Manon Rheaume and Dany Heatley. Athletes from other sports, along with hockey-loving first responders, will also take part.
This isn’t Bieber’s first time on the ice. The “Sorry” hitmaker has participated in previous celebrity games and recently served as a team captain for the 2024 NHL All-Star Game in Toronto.
Proceeds from Skate For LA Strong will benefit the Red Cross, the LA Fire Foundation, Cal Fire Foundation, and the Eaton Canyon Fire Relief and Recovery Fund. The event will be free for all “all Firefighters, First Responders, community group leaders, fire victims and their families as well as for Kings Season Tickets Members,” according to the Los Angeles Kings.
