Justin Bieber got back to his Canadian roots on Saturday, pulling on his skates for a game of ice hockey in New York City.
The 23-year-old hit the ice alongside the official Army West Point team, playing alongside army cadets.
The team had invited the Sorry singer to play with them, and he finally took them up on the offer, donning a number six jersey emblazoned with forward Nick DeCenzo's name.

'Skated with Justin Bieber today...' tweeted the hockey player. 'He wore my #6 jersey, assisted my goal, I assisted him, and he fed me water...'
The team also posed for a photo with the pop star in the locker room, with the Army West Point logo visible on the floor in front of them.
'Bieber knows the rules... Respect the logo,' the team tweeted.

It's not the first time the star has hit the ice for a friendly game of hockey.
A longtime fan of the sport, Justin played in the NHL All-Star Celebrity Shootout in January, where he ended up getting slammed into the glass barrier by Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman Chris Pronger.
But it wasn't all bad for the What Do You Mean? singer.

According to his teammate for the January game, actor Cuba Gooding Jr., Justin has some serious skills on the ice.
'I was shocked at how good the kid can play,' he confessed to News.com.au. 'He really has nice skills, and he's a real sweet kid, too.'
And a love for ice hockey seems to run in the family.
Not only has Justin posted photos of himself about to hit the ice, the proud star last week shared a picture of his little brother, Jaxon, heading out to the rink adorned in his hockey gear.
