Canadian singer Tate McRae is currently a hot topic in the NHL. Former NHL player and podcaster Sean Avery recently declared his goal of planning a blind date involving McRae and Vancouver Canucks superstar defenseman Quinn Hughes during the NHL All-Star weekend.

In the latest episode of the 'Full Send' podcast, Avery said that this Valentine’s Day, he'll be playing Cupid.

"Because we are quickly approaching Valentine's Day, I would like to take it upon myself to play Cupid," Avery humorously declared

Avery explained,

"Tate McRae is going to be performing at the NHL All-Star game. Quinn Hughes is going to be playing in the NHL All-Star game, and I would like those two star-crossed lovers to go on a blind date. Italian food at my favorite restaurant in Toronto, the great Soto Soto."

Mcrae will be the headliner for the second intermission performance at the 2024 NHL All-Star Game in Toronto. In addition, she will also be the celebrity captain for Team McKinnon, wearing yellow jerseys together with Nathan McKinnon and Cale Makar among others.

On Oct. 1, 2021, Quinn Hughes, who is the captain of the Vancouver Canucks, signed a six-year contract worth $47,100,000. He was picked by the Canucks seventh overall in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft.
