Keith Urban is set to play at an upcoming NHL outdoor game in Philadelphia between the Penguins and Flyers on February 23. The league announced Wednesday that the country music star would perform during the first intermission. Urban is the latest A-list artists to play at an NHL event, following Weezer at the Winter Classic and Bebe Rexha at All-Star Weekend. “We’re thrilled that these artists are now considering our events to be of the highest level and incredible exposure for them,” said NHL chief content officer Steve Mayer. He added, “For us as the NHL, we’re just looking for the biggest artists we can find, and we think that Keith Urban transcends all of that.” Urban, who has no connection to the Flyers or Penguins, is actually a Nashville Predators fan. “Keith really has fallen in love with the game, fallen in love with hockey, thinks this is a really cool opportunity and wants to work with us more and more promoting the game,” Mayer said.
