The NHL All-Star Game is an annual exhibition match featuring the league's top players, showcasing their skills and talent. It typically takes place in January or February and is part of the NHL All-Star Weekend, which includes various events like the Skills Competition. Players are selected through fan voting, and the game format often changes to keep it exciting. In recent years, the event has included a tournament-style format, where teams compete in a series of mini-games. The All-Star Game serves as a celebration of hockey and provides fans with a chance to see their favorite players in a fun, relaxed environment.
