NHL unveils All-Star captains and celebrity captains.
The National Hockey League has announced this year's captains at the All-Star Game.
The National Hockey League has unveiled the players who will serve as captains for the 2024 NHL All-Star Game as well as the celebrity captains that will accompany them during the skills competition.
In all there will be 4 teams and normally that would mean 4 different captains but this time around the NHL has introduced a bit of a twist with one team being led by a pair of co-captains.
As I mentioned there will be 4 teams and they are as follows:
Team Matthews:
This team will be captained by Toronto Maple Leafs star forward Auston Matthews and his celebrity captain will be long time friend Justin Bieber.
Team McDavid:
Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid will captain his namesake team and joining him as his celebrity captain will be actor Will Arnett
Team MacKinnon:
Colorado Avalanche star forward Nathan MacKinnon will head up his team as captain and he will be joined by singer Tate McRae.
Team Hughes:
Here is where we get to our twist with both Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes and New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes serving as co-captains, although I'm sure the brothers won't mind. Joining them as their celebrity captain will be singer Michael Buble.
