Robin Sparkles (Cobie Smulders) is going back to the mall — and she's bringing a lot of famous (Canadian) faces with her!

How I Met Your Mother has lined up a slew of Canadian-born celebrities for the Feb. 4 return of Robin's teen idol alter ego, CBS announced Monday.

How I Met Your Mother returning for a ninth season

James Van Der Beek, Jason Priestley, K.D. Lang, Paul Shaffer, Barenaked Ladies frontman Steven Page, Rush lead vocalist Geddy Lee, and former Canadian professional ice hockey player Luc Tobitaille will all guest-star. Alex Trebek will return, as will Growing Pains' Alan Thicke, who played Robin Sparkles' Space Teens co-star.
