This public outcry was promptly re-shared by Gretzky on his own account, further inflating the online buzz.The championship match itself was not without its dramatic moments which was attended by over 81,000 passionate fans. However, the celebrity presence extended beyond the athletes.

Brady had also posted several stories from this exorbitant gathering on his Instagram.One specific photograph, portraying Tom Brady with Domi’s father, the former NHL enforcer Tie Domi, alongside Tie’s wife Heather, and real estate magnate Jeffrey Soffer with his wife Colleen, caught attention. They were all elegantly attired for the evening’s festivities. In the associated caption, Brady blithely acclaimed, “Hanging with the biggest boss in Vegas, and @max’s dad.”Max Domi, a current forward for the Leafs and Tie’s son, reacted to this mention by sharing the photo on his own Instagram story, embellished with three laughing emojis. Brady continued to share other images from the celebration, including a shot of him standing with basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal and David Beckham. In a comical stab, Brady even entitled Tie and Max “the backup goalies” for the Inter Miami soccer team, jokingly referring to them as the “backups of the backups.”Also Read: Exploring the friendship between Auston Matthews and Justin Bieber as the NHL star supports his surprise ‘Swag’ album
