Johnny Gaudreau's All-Star squad had some added insight at its disposal Saturday.

The star forward's father, Guy, joinsx the Pacific Division team on the bench for the three-on-three tournament after being invited to do so by head coach Bill Peters, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

Peters also coaches the younger Gaudreau's Calgary Flames.

Guy Gaudreau starred at Norwich University in the late '70s, and spent 11 years as the head boys' coach at Gloucester Catholic High School in New Jersey. He was inducted into the Vermont Sports Hall of Fame in 2017.

His son made his fifth All-Star appearance and is tied with Connor McDavid for third in the NHL with 73 points, albeit in two more games played.
