Wayne Gretzky acted like a Justin Bieber fanboy for a night
One of hockey's greatest players is a Belieber. Hockey legend Wayne Gretzky had a chance to meet Justin Bieber in Las Vegas recently, as Gretzky's Fantasy Camp hit Vegas at the same time as Bieber performed in Vegas as part of his "The Purpose Tour."
Gretzky looked every bit the Bieber fan as he gifted Bieber with an autographed jersey ahead of Bieber's concert. Just look at that smile on Gretzky's face.

Bieber, meanwhile, looked like a messy-haired teenager who was humoring his parents by taking a photo, but it seemed like the singer appreciated the gift as he rocked his new Oilers jersey on stage later that night while a proud Gretzky caught the moment on camera.
Great night with @justinbieber in Vegas. Glad you liked the jersey! #thepurposetour #gretzkyfantasycamp2016 pic.twitter.com/gQhGFgnTpb

Bieber grew up in London, Ont., which is prime Toronto Maple Leafs territory, and he played hockey when he was younger. According to an old Instagram video, Bieber is actually a decent hockey player.
Still, it was very kind of Bieber to grant Gretzky the meet-and-greet opportunity, as Bieber recently canceled all future meet-and-greets with fans because he claimed they left him "depressed."
Score one for The Great One.
