Hollywood loves hockey too

With teams all over the country, NHL arenas are constantly visited by famous people. Recently, for example, three-time Grammy winner Shakira attended a New York Islanders game alongside her The Voice co-host Carson Daly. Now, there are some celebrities who go to games once in a while just for fun, however, there are some die-hard fans in Hollywood that hockey fans might not know about - even though some of them are all over Twitter. Hockey of Tomorrow took the time to collect some curiosities about these artists who are regulars at their team's games. Here’s a look at four celebrities you might not know are hockey fans.

Skylar Astin

People may not remember who Skylar Astin is by name, but everyone who's a musical fan knows this name and face. Astin played Jesse in the Pitch Perfect franchise, the main character's love interest. He also made an appearance in Grey's Anatomy's 18th season, as Jo Karev's boyfriend for a handful of episodes. Besides that, Astin’s a huge New York sports fan, which includes the NHL’s New York Rangers. Pictures of Astin and his family at Rangers games and jerseys are all over his Instagram. He even took his baby nephew to get to know the Madison Square Garden ice. It's safe to say his blood is blue and red.

Gaten Matarazzo

This one might not be a surprise to those who follow the New York Rangers on Twitter, but Gaten Matarazzo is a die-hard Rangers fan. From being at multiple games to singing the anthem, the Stranger Things star is open about his Rangers love. Matarazzo even starred in the team's promo videos back in the 2019-20 season.

Keanu Reeves

One of the internet's favorite people, Keanu Reeves grew up right outside of Toronto. The Hollywood star even played hockey throughout his childhood and almost attended a try-out with OHL's Windsor Spitfires, according to The Hockey Writers. The Beirut-born actor grew up a Toronto Maple Leafs fan and shared his love recently. When participating in an Ask Me Anything (AMA) on Reddit, Reeves was asked about his favorite hockey team. The actor said “… any Canadian Olympic team. But in the NHL, hometown - Toronto Maple Leafs.”

Chloe Grace Moretz

One thing Chloe Grace Moretz is good at is acting. The Amazon Prime star has been in the industry since she was a child, but one thing she has also been doing since her youth is cheering on the New York Islanders.

Similar to Matarazzo, Moretz is also not shy to show her love for her team. The Islanders jersey is all over her Instagram page and the actress is constantly tweeting about the team. Her documented presence at games goes back to 2015 and she's still a regular. She even took her The Peripheral co-stars to a game at the start of the season and hugged the team mascot, Sparky.

There are plenty of other hockey fans in Hollywood like Kristin Cavallari, Vince Vaughn, Will Arnett, Jon Hamm, and Matthew Perry - even a handful of former hockey players like Reeves and Paris Hilton. Next time you attend an NHL game, or watch on TV, don’t be surprised to see one of your favorite celebrities making a cameo.
