During the Skate For LA Strong charity event at Crypto.com Arena, Justin Bieber and Jeremy Roenick engaged in a playful altercation, suggesting a light-hearted atmosphere rather than any animosity.
The hockey tournament featured both the music icon and the Hockey Hall of Famer sharing smiles in the aftermath of their tussle, reflecting the spirit of camaraderie that typified the event.
The 30-year-old Bieber and the 55-year-old Roenick briefly pretended to trade blows while Roenick’s jersey flopped over his head, showcasing their competitive spirit.
Derek Armstrong, a former NHL player known for his time with the Islanders and Rangers, intervened to break up the friendly skirmish, quickly followed by Nate Thompson, another ex-professional who previously played for the Islanders.
With a huge grin on his face, Bieber skated away from the playful confrontation.
Amidst the light-hearted fray, Snoop Dogg, serving as an honorary coach for Team Black alongside Will Ferrell, shouted, “That’s Justin Bieber, somebody go help Justin.”
In another amusing moment, former Devil P.K. Subban and actor Ben Hollingsworth found themselves in a similar playful exchange during a separate match within the event.
The charity game was organized by the Los Angeles Kings and the NHL, featuring celebrities like Bieber and Steve Carell.
Besides Snoop Dogg and Will Ferrell, stars including Danny DeVito, Al Michaels, Cobie Smulders, Hannah Stocking, Vince Vaughn, and Andrew Whitworth served as honorary coaches throughout the tournament.
“We’re here to have fun and demonstrate that when we unite, great things can happen,” Bieber commented during the event.
Roenick expressed his enjoyment, describing the tournament as “a fantastic celebration of hockey and our first responders.” He added that it was fulfilling to see so many people come together and acknowledged the presence of L.A. firefighters in the event.
A nine-time All-Star, Roenick enjoyed a distinguished 20-season career in the NHL, amassing a remarkable 1,216 points, including 513 goals and 703 assists.
Recently, Bieber has been in the spotlight regarding rumors surrounding his marriage and personal life, with speculations circulating about his well-being.
His representatives have recently pushed back against these rumors, describing them as “exhausting” and “pitiful,” asserting that despite the truth, some individuals continue to propagate negative and damaging narratives.
