## Resource

Justin Bieber stunned the hockey world by announcing the Toronto Maple Leafs’ top draft pick—Gavin McKenna—only to deliver a hilariously awkward performance that had fans groaning and laughing in equal measure. McKenna, a phenom who dominated the WHL and thrived at Penn State, was the obvious No. 1 choice, but Bieber’s stage fright, confused cues, and post-announcement hangout with McKenna turned the moment into viral gold. It wasn’t just Bieber—Laila Edwards and Cobie Smulders also brought celebrity flair to their respective picks, setting a new draft trend. The Leafs’ next pick? Fingers crossed it’s less Bieber and more Bettman. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
