Pronger to have 'hearing' after epic hit on Bieber
Chris Pronger is facing possible repercussions for his epic bodycheck on Justin Bieber during Saturday’s All-Star Celebrity Shootout.
One day after the 6-foot-6 defenceman squished the Canadian pop star up against the glass for one of the greatest hockey photos ever, Pronger’s colleague at the department of player safety issued an “official” statement on the hilarious highlight.

The AP Photo went instantly viral Saturday on a night when the biggest names in hockey assembled for the NHL All-Star Skills Competition in Los Angeles.
Pronger, who was suspended eight times during his 18-year career, is already working on his defence.
