During his Hall of Fame career, defenseman Chris Pronger was known for his all-out play and his crushing hits.
Now in the Florida Panthers front office, Pronger is now perhaps best known for a hit in a celebrity game held in Los Angeles.
At last year’s All-Star Game, Pronger took part in the Celebrity Shootout at Staples Center.
It was in that charity event where Pronger sized up one of the biggest entertainers in the world — and ever-so-gently jammed him face-first into the glass.
The photo of Pronger’s wide smile towering over Justin Bieber’s pained look went viral immediately.
