Céline Dion is showing up for the Montreal Canadiens!
The 56-year-old singer made a surprise appearance at the 2024 Upper Deck NHL Draft, held at the Sphere in Las Vegas on Friday, June 28, to announce the Canadiens’ fifth-round draft pick.
Dion, who was introduced onstage as the team’s “No. 1 fan,” could be seen entering the venue in a white V-neck dress while holding hands with her eldest son, René-Charles Angélil.
Several hockey fans cheered as the music legend made her way to the stage with a big smile on her face. Once she arrived onstage, she shared handshakes and cheek kisses with the team heads before taking her place at the microphone.
“I’m excited. [I’m] not even a hockey mom,” the Grammy winner joked to the audience, before announcing the team’s pick, Ivan Demidov from Russia.
