WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert was in attendance to speak on the expansion franchise alongside Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
When Trudeau took to the stage, he poked fun at NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman poking fun at his height.
"WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert, thank you so much Cathy for all of your leadership, for being here today. You're much taller than Gary Bettman." - Justin Trudeau
