The Toronto Maple Leafs debuted their new Justin Bieber-designed jerseys on Wednesday ... and they were joined by none other than the Biebs himself!!
Auston Matthews and the "Peaches" singer got in some one-on-one time after their matchup against the New Jersey Devils ... showing the NHL superstar walking up to and hugging Bieber in the locker room.
Of course, the duo has become pretty tight over the years ... and have even hit the ice together to play some pickup hockey.
