The 32-year-old “Love Yourself” singer is from Canada and has been a proud fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs since he was young. He was invited to day one of the 2026 NHL Draft in Buffalo, New York on Friday (June 26) to announce this year’s top overall pick. In a video shared by the official Maple Leafs X account , Justin is shown walking out in red track jacket featuring the Maple Leafs emblem as he greets the crowd and makes his way down to the main stage to chat with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman .

Awe, man, the child in me is ecstatic right now,” he said. Once on stage, Justin announced 18-year-old Gavin McKenna as the 2026 NHL Draft’s top pick.

Gavin was named one of the “Big 10 freshman of the year” after his “first season at Penn State,” and he ranked fifth in NCAA scoring. The announcer revealed he is the highest-drafted player ever from the Yukon region of Canada. Fittingly, Justin ‘s song “Yukon” started playing during the pivotal moment. With the hit HBO show Heated Rivalry becoming an international hit, many new fans have been discovering hockey and the NHL actually responded to the increased interest generated by the show’s popularity earlier this year!
