Justin Bieber’s basketball skills, or lack there or, are well known. What’s less known is his apparent love for hockey, which he demonstrated in last night’s NHL All-Star Celebrity Shootout.
In the contest, Biebz competed against pro hockey players from the NHL and seemed to be doing okay until he was smashed into the glass by 6′ 6″ veteran player Chris Pronger.

It wasn’t all bad news for Bieber, who scored a goal and had an assist. And he earned the respect from another celebrity who participated in the game.
“I was shocked at how good the kid can play,” actor Cuba Gooding Jr. told the Associated Press. “He really has nice skills, and he’s a real sweet kid, too.”
