At Fanatics Fest in the United States, a surprising showdown unfolded when NFL icon Tom Brady joined pop sensation Justin Bieber for a light‑hearted hockey shooting contest.
Bieber, known for his smooth touch on the court, effortlessly sent pucks sailing into the net from a series of distances, drawing cheers from the crowd.
Brady, by contrast, appeared out of his element; his first attempt missed the target entirely, and a subsequent point‑blank shot rattled the net as the quarterback’s stick swung wildly.
The former quarterback’s frustration was evident when he pretended to smash the net after another miss, a moment that drew both laughter and sympathy from onlookers.
On his final try, Brady came within inches of a score, the puck grazing the post before slipping away, while his stick clipped a nearby cutout and nearly struck a staff member.
