On June 19, the 2019 NHL Awards will be held in Las Vegas and be hosted by SNL’s Kenan Thompson.

On Monday afternoon, the NHL announced that one of the headline presenters for the evening will be longtime “Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek. Trebek, who was born in Canada and is a very big hockey fan, will be helping hand out one of the top awards for the evening (though the specific award is currently unknown).

The event marks one of Trebek’s first public appearances since announcing back in early March that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.

Trebek recently gave an update that he had been responding well to treatment and is in “near remission” according to his doctors, saying “some of the tumors have already shrunk by more than 50 percent”

Longtime St. Louis Blues fan actor Jon Hamm will also be presenting at the awards that night as part of the continuing celebration of the Blues’ Stanley Cup Championship. Hamm recently chugged Bud Light out of the Stanley Cup during a party with Blues players at Anheuser-Busch.
