Bieber, Roenick among those in hockey benefit for L.A. fire relief fund
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Justin Bieber and Steve Carell laced up their skates along with Hockey Hall of Famers Rob Blake, Mark Messier, Cammi Granato and Jeremy Roenick on Sunday afternoon to support relief funds from the Los Angeles fires. The Los Angeles Kings and National Hockey League held 'Skate for L.A. Strong" at Arena to benefit recovery efforts from the devastating wildfires in Southern California. The Palisades Fire was the most destructive in Los Angeles' history. 'We're looking to have a good time and show when we come together, good things happen,' Bieber said. The four-team exhibition tournament was the brainchild of Hockey Hall of Famer and Kings President Luc Robitaille. The four teams had 15 skaters and one goaltender and included a mix of celebrities, former players and local first responders. 'We've all been touched by what happened last month. We all have friends, families or different (people) that have been impacted, so for us to be able to make a difference and to do something, we're gonna raise as much as possible and make a difference," Robitaille said. The team coached by actors Vince Vaughn and Cobie Smulders won both of its games to take the exhibition tournament. Roenick had two goals on the day and then playfully dropped the gloves with Bieber during one of the games. 'This was an amazing celebration of hockey and first responders. It was a lot of fun, seeing everyone that showed up and some of the L.A. firefighters playing was a good feeling,' Roenick said. The other teams were coached by Will Ferrell and Snoop Dogg; Danny DeVito and Al Michaels; and Hannah Stocking and Andrew Whitworth. 'When the Kings asked me to do this, I was like, 'Absolutely.' I don't care if I'd never thrown on a pair of skates before, this is where I want to be," said actor Skylar Astin. "I'm a resident of Malibu, so I really have the firefighters to thank for even containing it as much as they were able to. I even took PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) over here for the first time, and it was the first time I actually saw all the destruction first-hand and it was really chilling. It's going to be a while for us to really build back properly, but L.A. is a resilient community, and I think we'll get it done.' Besides the game being shown locally on television in Los Angeles, it aired nationally on ESPN2. Instead of tickets being sold, they were distributed to first responders and those who have been displaced by the fires. The Kings said 12,167 fans attended. ___ AP sports: The Associated Press

Hockey fights are some of the most electric moments in sports, and fans in Los Angeles got one no one was expecting between Jeremy Roenick and … Justin Bieber? On Sunday, Bieber, Roenick and more skated in a benefit hockey tournament called Skate For LA Strong.

The event was quite a show, but nothing got the crowd going more than witnessing a 'fight' between Roenick and Bieber during a game. Bieber even pumped up the crowd while skating to the bench after the hilarious moment. JUSTIN BIEBER FIGHTS JEREMY ROENICK AND THEN GETS THE CROWD GOING — LA Kings (@LAKings) February 24, 2025
