How Do Mack and Gabe Know Each Other?

I'm working on a big willgabeleno masterpost, but in the meantime. What the hell is up with this photo?

Well, it's actually extremely simple. Their jerseys say CAA hockey camp. CAA stands for Creative Artists Agency. They're basically a talent management company. They work with athletes, entertainers, and brands in stuff like contract negotiation and sponsorships. Anyways. Both Mack and Gabe are represented by CAA. They're both on CAA's big list of NHL players they represent (although Gabe is much further down on the list).

in 2021, Gabe posted about a week-long hockey camp thrown by CAA. This is the first time Mack liked one of Gabe's posts, so we can assume it's the first time they met. I don't know how much they kept in contact afterwards, but they do interact with each others' posts pretty consistently. Here's some of the comments they've left each other, because I think they're funny.

(I have absolutely no evidence for this, but I like to imagine that Gabe talked about Mack to Will and Leno at least once. I wonder if he blames himself for Will "choosing Mack".)
