GOOD NEWS: Toronto Maple leafs celebrating the new…..

The Toronto native — and hardcore Maple Leafs fan — will face off against Auston Matthews and his celebrity co-captain Justin Bieber at the NHL All-Star Game

From TV star to voiceover savant to podcast host, Will Arnett has tackled so much of the entertainment industry. And this weekend, he’s adding another line to his impressive resume: NHL All-Star Weekend captain.

The Toronto native, 53, is returning home this week for the National Hockey League’s All-Star Weekend at Scotiabank Arena from Feb. 1 – Feb. 3.

Arnett is being paired up with Edmonton Oilers’ Connor McDavid to lead Team McDavid against four other star-studded pairings — including Michael Bublé and the New Jersey Devils’ Jack Hughes; Tate McRae and the Colorado Avalanche’s Nathan MacKinnon; and from Arnett’s hometown team, the Toronto Maple Leafs’ Auston Matthews, who is paired with Justin Bieber.

As a hardcore Maple Leafs fan, Arnett says it’s “not easy” to go head-to-head with the team’s center.

“But I’ve got to look at it like if he plays in the Olympics, he’ll play for Team USA, and so I’ve got to root for Team Canada,” the Smartless host tells PEOPLE of the Californian while explaining that the pairing makes sense as the hockey star and Bieber are “good pals.”
