After, Pettersson met Federer and asked the tennis legend if he ever played hockey. Federer said he had never tried the sport, but he always wanted to learn.

Pettersson then gave Shelton a tour of the Vancouver locker room where he told the young star never to step on the Canucks logo. He also showed Shelton where they keep the pucks and where the skates are sharpened.

The crew ended off the day exchanging jerseys and posing for a picture at center court.
