The '''National Hockey League All-Star Game''' ({{langx|fr|Match des étoiles de la Ligue nationale de hockey|links=no}}) is an [[exhibition game|exhibition]] [[ice hockey]] tournament that is traditionally held during the [[regular season]] of the [[National Hockey League]] (NHL), with many of the League's star players playing against each other. The games' proceeds benefit the pension fund of the players, and the winning team is awarded $1,000,000 towards a [[Charitable organization|charity]] of their choice.

The NHL All-Star Game, held in late January or early February, marks the symbolic halfway point in the regular season, though not the mathematical halfway point which, for most seasons, is usually one or two weeks earlier. Between 2007 and 2020, it was held in late January. It was skipped in 2021 because of the [[COVID-19 pandemic]],<ref name="2021ASGCancelled">{{cite news |url=https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-postpones-2021-winter-classic-all-star-weekend/c-319501676|title=NHL postpones Winter Classic, All-Star Weekend for this season |work=National Hockey League |date=2020-10-23 |access-date=2020-10-23}}</ref> the 2022 to 2024 editions were held on the first Saturday of February.<ref>{{cite web |title=NHL players will not participate in 2022 Beijing Olympics |url=https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-players-will-not-participate-in-2022-beijing-olympics/c-329206756 |website=NHL.com |publisher=National Hockey League |access-date=24 December 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=2023 NHL Winter Classic at Fenway Park, Bruins opponent not announced |url=https://www.nhl.com/news/bruins-to-host-2023-nhl-winter-classic/c-330511374 |website=NHL.com |publisher=National Hockey League |date=4 February 2022 |access-date=6 June 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=2024 NHL All-Star Weekend to be held in Toronto |url=https://www.nhl.com/news/toronto-maple-leafs-to-host-2024-nhl-all-star-game/c-340706888 |website=NHL.com |publisher=National Hockey League |date=4 February 2023 |access-date=4 February 2023}}</ref>

==Formats==
From 1947 to 1968, the All-Star Game primarily saw the previous season's [[Stanley Cup]] champions take on a team of All-Stars from the other clubs. There were two exceptions during this period: The 1951 and 1952 games instead featured two teams of All-Star players, one consisting of players on American-based teams and the other with players on Canadian-based teams.

Beginning in 1969, the format was geographic with the [[Eastern Conference (NHL)|Wales/Eastern Conference]] All-Stars playing the [[Western Conference (NHL)|Campbell/Western Conference]] All-Stars, with the "first team", or starting line, including the starting goaltender, voted in by fans, while the remainder of the teams' rosters are chosen by the NHL's Hockey Operations Department in consultation with the teams' general managers. Since [[46th National Hockey League All-Star Game|1996]], the [[head coach]]es for the two All-Star teams have been the coaches of the two teams that are leading their respective conferences in point percentage (i.e. fraction of points obtained out of total possible points). Previously, the two head coaches that appeared in the previous year's [[List of Stanley Cup champions|Stanley Cup Finals]] coached the All-Star teams.<ref>{{cite web |title=2008 NHL All-Star Game |url=http://www.nhlallstar2008.com/HISTORY.HTM |access-date=2008-09-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110714180804/http://www.nhlallstar2008.com/HISTORY.HTM |archive-date=2011-07-14 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Elliott |first=Helene |date=1995-11-30 |title=NHL to Base Selection of All-Star Coaches on Current Performance |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-11-30-sp-8621-story.html |access-date=2023-02-25 |website=Los Angeles Times}}</ref>

The [[48th National Hockey League All-Star Game|1998 All-Star Game]] was held in the same year as the [[1998 Winter Olympics]], allowing the NHL to show off its players from all over the world. For this event, the NHL had the All-Star teams consist of a team of North Americans playing against a team of stars from the rest of the world.<ref name="PodnieksASG">{{citation |last=Podnieks |first=Andrew |title=The NHL All-Star Game: Fifty Years of the Great Tradition |pages=251–255 |year=2000 |publisher=HarperCollins |location=Toronto |isbn=0-00-200058-X}}</ref> The North America vs. World All-Star format lasted through the [[52nd National Hockey League All-Star Game|2002 Game]], the same year as the [[2002 Winter Olympics]], before reverting to the Eastern vs. Western Conference format in 2003.

During the [[2010–11 NHL season|2010–11 season]], the NHL announced a change to the way the teams were selected, modeled after drafts in [[fantasy sports]]. The conference vs. conference (i.e. East vs. West) approach was replaced by a player draft conducted by the All-Star players themselves to determine the rosters for each team. The captains for each team now select players from a combined pool of both fan balloting and the NHL Hockey Operations Department. The change in format was a joint effort by the League and the [[National Hockey League Players' Association]] (NHLPA).<ref>{{cite news |title=All-Star Game to feature new Fantasy Draft |first=Adam |last=Kimelman |date=2010-10-11 |work=[[National Hockey League]] |url=http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=543059}}</ref> This format lasted through the 2015 game.

On November 18, 2015, the NHL announced significant changes to the All-Star Game format, starting with the 2016 game: instead of one game featuring two teams, there are four All-Star teams based on the league's four divisions, competing in a [[single-elimination tournament]]. The format of all three games in the tournament is three-on-three, with 10-minute halves each. If a tie remains after 20 minutes, then it directly goes to a three-round shootout plus extra rounds as needed to determine the winner; there is no standard overtime. The winners of the two semifinal games then meet in an ''All-Star Game Final''.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=788532 | title=New format for Honda NHL All-Star Game announced | publisher=NHL.com | date=2015-11-18 | access-date=2015-10-19}}</ref> In 2017, the format was slightly changed: the division that wins the [[NHL All-Star Skills Competition]] during the previous night then gets to pick which team they will play first in the semifinals.<ref name="SkillsNHL20170127">{{cite web | url=https://www.nhl.com/news/assignments-made-for-2017-nhl-all-star-skills-competition/c-286188106?tid=277751912 | title=NHL All-Star Skills Competition assignments set | website=NHL.com | date=January 27, 2017 | access-date=January 28, 2017 | quote=The division team with the most points at the end of the Skills Competition will be able to pick its opponent for the 2017 Honda NHL All-Star Game on Sunday (3:30 p.m. ET; NBC, CBC, SN, TVA Sports), and whether they play in the first or second semifinal.}}</ref>

On November 27, 2023, the NHL announced that it would be combining the four-team, three-on-three format with the fantasy draft used in the previous system. The league selected the captains for each of the four teams from a combined pool of both fan balloting and the NHL Hockey Operations Department, and the players then conducted a draft to determine the rosters for each team.<ref name="2024format">{{cite web |title=New NHL All-Star Thursday to feature player draft, PWHL 3-on-3 |url=https://www.nhl.com/news/player-draft-returning-to-nhl-all-star-weekend |website=NHL.com |access-date=November 28, 2023 |date=November 28, 2023}}</ref>

==Skills Competition==
The All-Star Game is preceded by the ''[[NHL All-Star Game SuperSkills Competition|NHL All-Star Skills Competition]]'', a competition showing the various talents of both the all-stars. Beginning in 2007, the All-Star weekend also featured the ''[[NHL YoungStars Game]]'', an exhibition game exclusively featuring rookies,<ref>[http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=287353 2007 ''All-Star Game Coverage: NHL's bright future is on display'']{{Dead link|date=February 2023}}</ref> playing under slightly modified rules. In 2011 this game was eliminated in favor of having the rookies compete in the skills competition.

==History==

===Benefit games===
The first official [[All-Star]] Game was held during the [[1947–48 NHL season]]. Prior to that, there have been several occasions when benefit games and All-Star Games were played.

====Hod Stuart Benefit All-Star Game====
{{further|1907–08 ECAHA season#Hod Stuart Benefit All-Star Game}}
The first All-Star game in [[ice hockey]] predates the NHL. It was played on January 2, 1908, before 3,500 fans at the [[Montreal Arena]] between the [[Montreal Wanderers]] and a team of All-Stars players from the teams the [[Eastern Canada Amateur Hockey Association]]. It was held in memory of Wanderers player [[Hod Stuart]], who had drowned three months after the Wanderers won the Stanley Cup in 1907. The proceeds of that game (over $2,000) went to Stuart's family.<ref>Podnieks(2000), pp. 1–4</ref>

====Ace Bailey Benefit Game====
[[Image:ShoreBailey14Feb1934.jpg|upright|thumb|[[Ace Bailey]] (left) and [[Eddie Shore]] shake hands at the benefit game held in honour of Bailey]]
{{main|Ace Bailey Benefit Game}}
On December 12, 1933, [[Toronto Maple Leafs|Toronto's]] [[King Clancy]] tripped [[Boston Bruins|Boston's]] [[Eddie Shore]], and in retaliation, Shore hit the Leafs' [[Ace Bailey]] from behind, flipping him over backwards. Bailey hit his head on the ice so hard that a priest in attendance gave him [[last rites]]. Bailey lived for almost 60 more years, but his playing career was over. Shore was suspended for 16 games of a 48-game season for the hit.<ref>Podnieks(2000), pp. 5–7</ref>

As a benefit for Bailey and his family, the NHL held its first ever All-Star game on February 14, 1934. The game was held at [[Maple Leaf Gardens]] in Toronto, during which Bailey's #6 uniform was retired by the Leafs. It was the first number to be retired in the NHL. The game saw the Leafs battle against an All-Star team made of players from the other seven teams, which the Leafs won 7–3. One of the more memorable moments before the game was when Bailey presented Shore with his All-Star jersey, showing to the public that Bailey had clearly forgiven him for his actions. Bailey also presented a trophy to NHL President [[Frank Calder]] before the game in the hope that the trophy would go to the winner of an annual All-Star Game for the benefit of injured players.<ref>Podnieks(2000), pp. 5–10</ref>

====Howie Morenz Memorial Game====
{{main|Howie Morenz Memorial Game}}
[[Howie Morenz]] was one of the NHL's superstars of the 1930s. However, his career, and eventually life, ended in a game between his [[Montreal Canadiens]] and the [[Chicago Blackhawks|Chicago Black Hawks]] on January 28, 1937, at the [[Montreal Forum]]. In that game, Morenz was checked by Chicago player [[Earl Seibert]] into the boards in what seemed like a normal hit. However, as the boards were made of wood at the time, Morenz's leg shattered in five separate locations above the ankle. He was carried off the ice on a stretcher to a hospital, where he would stay for four and a half weeks until his death from a heart attack. At one time, one visitor noted that it was as if a party was being held inside of Morenz's hospital room, complete with whiskey and beer. Morenz died on March 8 the same year, from, as teammate [[Aurèle Joliat|Aurele Joliat]] put it, "a broken heart" (Morenz suffered a [[myocardial infarction|heart attack]] the night before). Morenz's #7 sweater, which had been hanging in its usual stall while he was in hospital, was finally retired for good.<ref>Podnieks (2000), pp. 11–12.</ref>

While Morenz was in the hospital, plans for a game for Morenz's benefit were already under way. However, the game was not as successful as Bailey's game, partially because it took place many months after Morenz's passing (on November 3 at the Forum) and partially because Morenz had not survived. The game saw two All-Star teams, the first being a team of stars from the Canadiens and the [[Montreal Maroons]], the second being an All-Star team made of players from the other teams, with the latter team winning 6–5.<ref>Podnieks (2000), pp. 12–14.</ref>

====Babe Siebert Memorial Game====
On August 25, 1939, [[Babe Siebert]], a Montreal Canadien who had just retired from play and had been named head coach, drowned in [[Lake Huron]]. To benefit his family, the Canadiens and Montreal Maroons organized a benefit, held on October 29 at the Montreal Forum. Six thousand fans attended a game between the Canadiens and the "NHL All-Stars", raising {{CA$|15000|link=yes}} (equivalent to ${{Inflation|CA|15000|1939|r=-2|fmt=c}} in {{Inflation/year|CA}}) for Siebert's family. The All-Stars won the game 5–2.<ref>Podnieks(2000), pp. 15–18</ref>

===Official games===
Despite Bailey's hopes of an annual All-Star Game, it did not become an annual tradition until the [[1947–48 NHL season]]. In 1966, the All-Star Game was moved from the start of the season to its current position in the middle of the season. In 1979, the [[1979 Challenge Cup (ice hockey)|Challenge Cup]] series replaced the game, in 1987, it was replaced with [[Rendez-vous '87]], and in 2025 it was replaced with the [[2025 4 Nations Face-Off|4 Nations Face-Off]]. Lockouts disrupted the NHL season in 1995, 2005, and 2013 and resulted in the cancellation of the game in those years. [[COVID-19]] led to the cancelation of the 2021 game. As part of the [[NHL Collective Bargaining Agreement]] (CBA) that expired in 2012 and was later renewed, the NHL agreed with the NHLPA not to hold an All-Star Game during [[Ice hockey at the Olympic Games|Winter Olympic]] years that they participated in, consequently, the contest was cancelled in [[2005–06 NHL season|2006]], [[2009–10 NHL season|2010]] and [[2013–14 NHL season|2014]]. In [[2017–18 NHL season|2018]], however, the contest was still played, as NHL players did not participate in [[2018 Winter Olympics|that year's Winter Olympics]], and in [[2021–22 NHL season|2022]], the contest was still played, with players originally going to the [[2022 Winter Olympics]] after, but ultimately did not due to COVID-19 postponing many games.

====1940s====
[[Image:Richard1949ASGJ.jpg|right|thumb|Hockey sweater worn by [[Maurice Richard]] during the [[3rd National Hockey League All-Star Game|1949 All-Star Game]].]]
Both parts of Bailey's vision would, however, come true: The first game of the annual tradition, and the first official NHL All-Star Game, would be played in [[Maple Leaf Gardens]], on October 13, 1947. The format of the All-Star Game, which remained the same, with two exceptions, until the [[1967–68 NHL season]], called for the defending [[List of Stanley Cup champions|Stanley Cup champions]] to play against a selection of players from the other five teams. For the first year, the All-Stars were a team composed of the First and Second [[NHL All-Star team]]s (not to be confused with the All-Stars that played against the Cup champions), as well as three players from the [[New York Rangers]] and one player each from the [[Detroit Red Wings]] and the [[Chicago Blackhawks|Chicago Black Hawks]].

For the game, the Gardens facilities were upgraded to use glass on the boards (in an era where wire fences were the norm), a point that fans complained about as the sounds of the checks were somewhat muted. In what would be another tradition, the defending Stanley Cup champions were presented before the game with various gifts that included sweater coats, golf balls, cigarette boxes, ties, cufflinks, pocket knives, watches and lifetime passes to Maple Leaf Gardens. All-in-all, the game was a success, with the All-Stars winning 4–3.<ref>Podnieks(2000), p. 21</ref>

Although the All-Star Game called for the defending Cup champion to host it, the game was held in [[Chicago Stadium]] in its second year as a consequence of the negotiations that set up the first game. Also as a peculiarity as a result of the scheduling, the game was held not before the season started (as was the case before and would be for almost 20 years following the game), but three weeks into the season. Like the year before, players from the First and Second NHL All-Star teams were automatically awarded spots on the All-Star Game rosters (an exception was Leafs goaltender [[Turk Broda]], having won the Cup, played for the Leafs instead), with the rest of the all-stars being assembled so that each team was represented with at least three players on the All-Stars. As for the game itself, the All-Stars had won 3–1 with all scoring coming in the second period.

====1950s====
The defending Stanley Cup champions would win their first All-Star Game in [[4th National Hockey League All-Star Game|1950]] by a 7–1 margin, thanks to Detroit's [[Production Line (ice hockey)|Production Line]] and the fact that five of the First and Second NHL All-Star teams were Red Wings. Because of the one-sidedness of the game, many fans and hockey insiders considered options on how to make the All-Star Game more balanced, including one where the All-Star Game was eliminated altogether in favour of a [[Best-of-nine playoff|best-of-nine]] Stanley Cup Finals with the proceeds of two of the games going to the players' pension fund, and one which saw a Canadian Teams vs. American Teams format (a somewhat flawed concept in that nearly all NHL players of the era, whether playing for teams representing American or Canadian cities, were Canadians). Ultimately, the [[5th National Hockey League All-Star Game|5th NHL All-Star Game]] saw the First NHL All-Star team battle the Second, with the players filling out the First team being from American teams and the Second team being filled with either Hab or Leaf players. The game ended in a 2–2 tie, leaving many fans upset for the second straight year. The same format of First vs. Second with the First team being augmented by players from American teams and the Second being augmented by Leaf or Hab players continued the next year, but the [[6th National Hockey League All-Star Game|6th All-Star Game]] proved to be 60 minutes of boring hockey as the teams skated to a 1–1 tie.

Criticisms of this new format, as well as the boring hockey, was what made the NHL revert the format of the All-Star Game to its original incarnation. Some of the criticisms included the fact that teammates often opposed each other in the All-Star Game under the new format, and some stated that the early date of the game was detrimental to the exposure of the NHL in the States, being held at the same time as the [[World Series]] and the [[National Football League]] (NFL) season. In what would be later a reality, ''[[Toronto Star]]'' columnist Red Burnett suggested that the game should be played mid-season and that fans should choose their starting lineup, a system which had long been in use in the States with regard to [[Major League Baseball]] (MLB).

====1960s====
The game was moved from the start of the season to mid-season in the [[1966–67 NHL season|1966–67 season]] as part of the move to promote the NHL to six new cities who would have their own teams (in October 1967). Because of the move to mid-season, the method of player selection for the All-Stars, largely unchanged for 20 years, was much scrutinized, as playing the All-Star Game mid-season meant that the first and second All-Star teams were decided almost a full year before the game itself, and that by mid-season, the Cup winners were a vastly different team from the team that had won the Cup some eight or nine months before. The mid-season move also meant that rookies with outstanding first years, such as [[Bobby Orr]], would be shut out of the game even if they deserved a spot on the All-Stars.

The [[21st National Hockey League All-Star Game|21st All-Star Game]] one year later was somber compared to the 20 before it, as the days before the game were tragic. On January 14, 1968, two days before the game, [[Bill Masterton]] had been checked by two [[Oakland Seals]] players and died from his on-ice injuries. The game itself was overshadowed by the debate on whether helmets should be worn in the NHL in the fallout of Masterton's untimely death. As in the previous years, the All-Stars were represented by the first and second All-Star teams, as well as enough players so that each team was represented. The east–west format of future All-Star Games was announced in the 21st All-Star Game, with the intention of being able to move the game anywhere, alternating home ice between an East division team and a West division team year after year. The idea, along with the notion that the players chosen for the two All-Star teams should be the best at the time of the game rather than the best of the players from the season before, quickly gained popularity, although the Cup champions reserved the right to host the [[22nd National Hockey League All-Star Game|22nd All-Star Game]]. The [[St. Louis Blues]] became the first Western host of the All-Star Game the following year. The [[26th National Hockey League All-Star Game|26th All-Star Game]] was the first in which the game MVP received a car as a prize.

====1970s====
With the realignment of the NHL into four divisions for the [[1974–75 NHL season|1974–75 season]], the [[28th National Hockey League All-Star Game|1975 All-Star Game]] was the first to pit the Wales Conference against the Campbell Conference.

In 1978, amidst renewed interest in international hockey, the NHL decided to replace the 1979 All-Star Game with a three-game series where the League's top players played against the [[Soviet Union national ice hockey team|Soviet Union]]'s top players in the [[1979 Challenge Cup (ice hockey)|Challenge Cup]], held at [[Madison Square Garden]] in New York City.

The Challenge Cup was being touted as a miniature world championship, and for the first time, fans could vote for certain members of the roster. The NHL would lose the three-game series two games to one, with the third game being lost by an embarrassing 6–0 margin.

Over the next few years, various aspects of the All-Star Game came under scrutiny, including the format of the game. To make things worse, the All-Star Game itself was viewed in some circles as a bad thing, with players opting out of the game in favour of the rest and prospective hosts repeatedly declining to host the event.

====1980s====
With the geographical realignment of the NHL for the [[1981–82 NHL season|1981–82 season]], the [[34th National Hockey League All-Star Game|1982 All-Star Game]] was the first between the Wales and Campbell Conferences that featured players from eastern teams against players from western teams.

The [[37th National Hockey League All-Star Game|37th All-Star Game]] in 1985 marked the first time that honorary [[Captain (ice hockey)|captains]] were selected for each team. The game also brought forth the notion of fan balloting of the starting lineup (already adopted in the [[National Basketball Association]] and by this time had returned, following a hiatus brought on by ballot box stuffing, to MLB; the NFL gave the fans the vote in the 1990s), as the game was suffering from having little media coverage. The idea came into fruition the following year.

In 1987, the All-Star Game was pre-empted in favour of [[Rendez-vous '87]], held at [[Colisée Pepsi|Le Colisée]] in [[Quebec City]]. Like the Challenge Cup before it, Rendez-Vous '87 was an event where the best the NHL could offer played against a Soviet squad which had an entire year to prepare. To reduce the possibility of the NHL being embarrassed again, Rendez-Vous '87 was a two-game affair. The series was split between the two teams with a game won by each.

During the series, NHL President [[John Ziegler (sports administrator)|John Ziegler]] stated that Soviet players would never be able to join the NHL because of the way the Soviet hockey programme worked, and that NHLers would never be able to play in the Winter Olympics. Soviet players would be allowed to play in the NHL within three years, and an arrangement that would allow NHL players to play in the Olympics was announced within nine.

====1990s====
The [[41st National Hockey League All-Star Game|41st All-Star Game]] in 1990 was held on a Sunday, after having been held on Tuesdays since 1968. That edition, the [[NHL All-Star Game SuperSkills Competition|NHL All-Star Skills Competition]] and the [[Heroes of Hockey]] game were both introduced. The Heroes of Hockey game featured NHL alumni and was set up much like the main game, with Wales vs. Campbell. Many of these players retired before the introduction of the Wales and Campbell Conferences. Future Heroes of Hockey games would have the hometown alumni play against the "best-of-the-rest", much like the all-star games of old. The [[42nd National Hockey League All-Star Game|42nd All-Star Game]] introduced, as part of the player selection, two players chosen by the commissioner to honour their years to their game.

With the renaming of conferences and divisions on a geographical basis for the [[1993–94 NHL season|1993–94 season]], the [[1994 National Hockey League All-Star Game|1994 All-Star Game]] was the first between East and West in name since 1974, although the Wales vs. Campbell format pitted east against west from 1982 to 1993.

The All-Star Game in 1995 was a casualty of the [[1994–95 NHL lockout]], which shortened that season to just 48 regular season games. [[San Jose, California|San Jose]], the originally scheduled venue, was instead awarded the [[47th National Hockey League All-Star Game|1997 All-Star Game]]. In the interim, [[Boston]] hosted the [[1996 National Hockey League All-Star Game|1996 All-Star Game]] at the newly opened [[TD Garden|FleetCenter]].

The [[1998 National Hockey League All-Star Game|1998 All-Star Game]] featured the first change in format in years in an attempt to promote the first Olympic hockey tournament with participation from NHL players.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Bradbury |first1=Trish |last2=O'Boyle |first2=Ian |title=Understanding Sport Management: International perspectives |date=2017 |publisher=Taylor & Francis |isbn=978-1-317-32840-7 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ziMlDwAAQBAJ&q=1998+nhl+all+star+game+promote+olympics&pg=PA65 |access-date=January 22, 2020}}</ref> The "First International Showdown", as it was billed, resulted in the North American All-Stars winning 8–7.

====2000s====
The [[2003 National Hockey League All-Star Game|2003 Game]]'s format was reverted to its classic East vs. West format. [[Dany Heatley]] scored four goals, tying an All-Star Game record, in addition to recording a shootout goal. Heatley also set the record for being the youngest player to score a hat-trick in the All-Star Game, a record previously held by the [[Edmonton Oilers]]' [[Wayne Gretzky]]. This shootout, the first of its kind in the NHL in the modern era, received an enthusiastic, frenzied response from the crowd when it was announced, and carried on during the event. This was influential in the later decision to decide regular season games tied after overtime with a shootout, thus eliminating tie games.

The All-Star Game was dealt two serious blows in 2005. Not only was the game canceled along with the rest of the season as a result of the [[2004–05 NHL lockout]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/nhl/columns/story?id=1915704|title=Cancellation is a serious blow to fans, host city|author=Scott Burnside|author-link=Scott Burnside|work=[[ESPN]]|date=November 3, 2004|access-date=February 9, 2005}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://edition.cnn.com/2005/SPORT/02/16/nhl.season/|title=NHL cancel remainder of the season|work=[[CNN]]|date=February 16, 2005|access-date=February 19, 2005}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://apnews.com/article/5168942da2d041a051de169bc66b893f|title=No Progress Made in NHL Talks|author=Ira Podell|work=[[CNN]]|date=February 19, 2005|access-date=March 19, 2005}}</ref> but the subsequent CBA that ended the lockout stipulated that heretofore the game was to be held only in non-Olympic years. Thus, there was no All-Star Game held during the [[2005–06 NHL season|2005–06 season]] either.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nhl.com/ice/page.htm?id=26390|title=Board of Governors Ratifies Collective Bargaining Agreement|work=[[NHL.com]]|date=July 22, 2005|access-date=February 9, 2006}}</ref>

After a two-season absence, the [[2007 National Hockey League All-Star Game|2007 Game]] was played in [[Dallas]], where the West defeated the East, 12–9. [[Daniel Brière|Daniel Briere]] of the [[Buffalo Sabres]] recorded a goal and four assists and was named the game's MVP.

The [[Atlanta Thrashers]] hosted the [[2008 National Hockey League All-Star Game|2008 Game]], as they had been originally scheduled to host the canceled Game in 2005. The Eastern Conference won the game 8–7 on a late game-winning goal by [[Marc Savard]] with 20.9 seconds remaining in the third period, beating [[St. Louis Blues]] [[goaltender]] [[Manny Legace]]. [[Eric Staal]] was named the MVP.

In 2009, the Bell Centre, the home of the Montreal Canadiens, hosted the [[2009 National Hockey League All-Star Game|Game]], as well as the [[2009 NHL Entry Draft]]. In the game, the Eastern Conference defeated the Western Conference 12–11 in a shootout (east 2/3 west 0/2). Approximately 21,000 people attended the game, where then-Canadien [[Alexei Kovalev]] was the Eastern Conference captain and was named the game's MVP after scoring two goals and one assist, as well as the shootout winner. Montreal fans voted Kovalev into the starting lineup, in addition to teammates [[Andrei Markov (ice hockey)|Andrei Markov]], [[Carey Price]] and [[Mike Komisarek]]. The Canadiens were picked to host both events because the Montreal Canadiens team celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2009. The team was established in 1909 as a founding member of the [[National Hockey Association]] (NHA) which became the NHL in 1917.

A small number of All-Star players questioned their potential participation in 2009. Past and current All-Stars must obtain an excused absence (often related to injury or personal circumstances) by the League if they will not participate. If this approved absence is not obtained, a one-game regular season suspension is possible.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://voices.washingtonpost.com/capitalsinsider/all-star-game/poll-should-all-star-participa.html | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121010114633/http://voices.washingtonpost.com/capitalsinsider/all-star-game/poll-should-all-star-participa.html | url-status=dead | archive-date=October 10, 2012 | newspaper=The Washington Post | title=Poll: Should All Star participation be mandatory?}}</ref>

====2010s====
There was no All-Star Game in 2010 because of both a change to the CBA and 2010 being an [[Olympic Games]] year—the [[2010 Winter Olympics]] marked the first time that the Olympics had been hosted in an NHL market since the league allowed its players to compete in the Olympics.<ref>{{cite web|last=Newsroom |first=Por |date=2021-07-12 |title=NHL Going to 2006, 2010 Olympics |url=https://www.infobae.com/aroundtherings/articles/2021/07/12/nhl-going-to-2006-2010-olympics/ |access-date=2024-02-15 |website=infobae |language=es-ES}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Vancouver&nbsp;– A City of Olympic Firsts |url=http://www.tourismvancouver.com/media/2010_story_starters/vancouver_host_city/vancouver_city_of_olympic_firsts |publisher=Tourism Vancouver |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091023074457/http://www.tourismvancouver.com/media/2010_story_starters/vancouver_host_city/vancouver_city_of_olympic_firsts |archive-date=2009-10-23 |url-status=dead |access-date=2010-02-17}}</ref>

The [[2011 National Hockey League All-Star Game|2011 All-Star Game]] was played in [[Raleigh, North Carolina]], home of the [[Carolina Hurricanes]]. Gary Bettman announced at the [[RBC Center]] on April 8, 2010, that the game would be held in Raleigh. The [[Phoenix Coyotes]] were originally slated to host the game that year in replacement of the 2006 Game, which they had again originally been awarded before the NHL ultimately decided not to hold the game the Olympic year. Amid fears that the Coyotes franchise would not "right its ship" by February 2011, however, the cities of Pittsburgh, Raleigh and Ottawa rose as candidates for the 2011 Game, with Raleigh eventually being chosen, having been promised the game since the Hurricanes reached 12,000 season ticket sales earlier in the decade. The 2011 Game also introduced a new format, replacing the traditional conference teams with a "fantasy draft." Fans voted for six players, from either conference (three forwards, two defencemen and one goaltender), while the NHL selected another 36 players for a total of 42 players. The chosen players then selected two captains for each All-Star team, who then selected their teammates in a draft. The chosen captains for the 2011 Game were [[Nicklas Lidström|Nicklas Lidstrom]] of Detroit and Eric Staal of Carolina.

The [[2012 National Hockey League All-Star Game|2012 Game]] repeated the fantasy draft format, with [[Daniel Alfredsson]] and [[Zdeno Chára|Zdeno Chara]] as captains. The game was played in [[Ottawa]] to honor the 20th anniversary of the [[Ottawa Senators|Senators]]' joining the NHL.

The 2013 All-Star Game was originally scheduled for January 27, 2013, at [[Nationwide Arena]] in [[Columbus, Ohio|Columbus]], the home of the [[Columbus Blue Jackets]]. The game was postponed to [[2015 National Hockey League All-Star Game|2015]], however, first due to the [[2012–13 NHL lockout]],<ref>{{cite news|work=Columbus Blue Jackets|title=Columbus Blue Jackets to Host 2013 NHL All-Star Celebration|url=http://bluejackets.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=614115&navid=DL%7cCBJ%7chome|date=January 28, 2012|access-date=January 29, 2012}}</ref> which delayed the start of the [[2012–13 NHL season|2012–13 season]] until January 19, 2013, followed by the inability to play in 2014 due to it falling on an Olympic Games year, where NHL players competed at the [[2014 Winter Olympics]].

The [[2016 National Hockey League All-Star Game|2016 All-Star Game]] was played on January 31, 2016, at [[Bridgestone Arena]] in [[Nashville, Tennessee|Nashville]], the home of [[Nashville Predators]]. The format was changed so that it was no longer a singular all-star game ''per se''; instead, four all-star teams, each representing one of the league's four divisions, participate in a two-round knockout tournament, with each game being two 10-minute halves in length and played with three skaters on each team.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=788532|title=New format for Honda NHL All-Star Game announced|publisher=NHL.com|date=November 18, 2015|access-date=2015-11-19}}</ref> In addition, each division is required to select at least one player from all eight of its teams (prior to 2017, the Central and Pacific Divisions only had seven teams; both added an eighth team as of 2021), unlike in previous years where some teams were not represented in recent All-Star Games. The 2016 game was also notable for the appearance of [[John Scott (ice hockey, born 1982)|John Scott]], a journeyman [[enforcer (ice hockey)|enforcer]] who was voted into the game through the fan vote. Scott, who had been demoted to the [[American Hockey League]] after the vote, played as a member of no team and, as captain of the Pacific Division, scored two goals (after scoring none the entire regular season up to that point) and won the game's [[Most Valuable Player]] award.

The [[2017 National Hockey League All-Star Game|2017 All-Star Game]] was played on January 29, 2017, at [[Staples Center]] in [[Los Angeles]], to honour of the Kings' 50th anniversary. The [[2018 National Hockey League All-Star Game|2018 All-Star Game]] was then played on January 28, 2018, at [[Amalie Arena]] in [[Tampa]], the second time the [[Tampa Bay Lightning]] have hosted the All-Star Game, the first being in 1999, and the third overall in [[Florida]].<ref>{{cite news|work=NHL|title=2018 NHL All-Star Game to be played at Tampa Bay|url=https://www.nhl.com/news/tampa-bay-to-host-2018-nhl-all-star-game/c-289629596?tid=277549086|date=2017-05-29|access-date=2017-06-02}}</ref>

====Future====
The [[2026 National Hockey League All-Star Game|2026 All-Star Game]] was to be hosted by the [[New York Islanders]] at [[UBS Arena]], at an undetermined date prior to the Olympics. In late-April 2025, it was reported that the NHL had cancelled the event, in favour of hosting a non-competition "kickoff" for the [[2026 Winter Olympics]] (which will feature NHL players). On May 5, 2025, it was reported that the NHL was considering some form of "international" event in lieu of the All-Star Game, amid the success of the 4 Nations Face-Off. New York governor [[Kathy Hochul]] called upon the NHL to fulfill its commitment to provide an event at the same or similar scale to the All-Star Game, expressing disappointment at its plans to hold a different event than awarded.<ref>{{cite web |last=Rosen |first=Dan |url=https://www.nhl.com/news/2026-nhl-all-star-weekend-to-be-hosted-by-new-york-islanders |title=Islanders to host 2026 NHL All-Star Weekend |website=NHL.com |date=February 18, 2024 |access-date=February 18, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Gross |first=Andrew |date=2025-04-29 |title=2026 'kickoff event' for Winter Olympics at UBS |url=https://www.newsday.com/sports/hockey/islanders/gary-bettman-ubs-arena-2026-nhl-all-star-game-s47syiy2 |access-date=2025-05-06 |website=Newsday |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-05-05 |title=NHL to hold an international event at UBS Arena in 2026 in place of All-Star Weekend, AP source says |url=https://apnews.com/article/nhl-allstar-2026-54c11b58ac6726673af785467d73c52e |access-date=2025-05-06 |website=AP News |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-05-05 |title=Kathy Hochul asks NHL to commit to All-Star event at UBS |url=https://www.newsday.com/sports/hockey/islanders/kathy-hochul-nhl-all-star-ubs-ck0wyfv4 |access-date=2025-05-06 |website=Newsday |language=en}}</ref>

====Yet to host====
As of the completion of the 2024 All-Star Game, a number of current NHL cities, teams or arenas have never hosted the event.

Six current NHL cities have never hosted the All-Star Game: [[Anaheim, California|Anaheim]], [[Newark, New Jersey|Newark]], [[Salt Lake City]], [[Seattle]], [[Washington, D.C.]], and [[Winnipeg]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Gleason |first1=Bucky |title=All-Star weekend is showcase; NHL's best gather to display skills |url=https://buffalonews.com/news/article_92ba110b-45f2-56b6-84c5-c455d77017a9.html |website=Buffalo News |access-date=February 9, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110131193057/http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/sabres-nhl/article327131.ece |archive-date=January 31, 2011 |date=January 28, 2011}}</ref>

Of the NHL home teams in those six cities, four have never hosted the All-Star Game: [[Anaheim Ducks]] (started play in [[1993–94 Mighty Ducks of Anaheim season|1993]]), [[Utah Mammoth]] (started play in [[2024–25 Utah Hockey Club season|2024]]), [[Seattle Kraken]] (started play in [[2021–22 Seattle Kraken season|2021]]) and [[Winnipeg Jets]] (started play, as Jets, in [[2011–12 Winnipeg Jets season|2011]]). The teams in the remaining two cities, [[New Jersey Devils]] and [[Washington Capitals]], hosted the game while located in a nearby suburb of their current city.

Of the current NHL arenas in the league, accounting for both new arenas and cities that have never hosted, 13 current NHL arenas have never hosted the All-Star Game: Anaheim's [[Honda Center]], [[Buffalo, New York|Buffalo]]'s [[KeyBank Center]], [[Chicago]]'s [[United Center]], [[Detroit]]'s [[Little Caesars Arena]], [[Edmonton]]'s [[Rogers Place]], [[Elmont, New York|Elmont]]'s [[UBS Arena]], Newark's [[Prudential Center]], [[Philadelphia]]'s [[Wells Fargo Center (Philadelphia)|Wells Fargo Center]], [[Pittsburgh]]'s [[PPG Paints Arena]], Salt Lake City's [[Delta Center]], Seattle's [[Climate Pledge Arena]], Washington, D.C.'s [[Capital One Arena]] and Winnipeg's [[Canada Life Centre]].
