NHL All Star Game Hockey Tickets
Watch the best of the National Hockey League take the ice with your NHL All Star Game tickets from TicketSmarter. Since its debut in 1947, the NHL All Star Game has entertained fans of the sport. The exhibition game features many of the league’s star players competing in a three-on-three match. It serves as the symbolic halfway mark in the regular season, similar to the MLB All Star Game.
The game has undergone various changes throughout the years. The first twenty years of the game saw the defending Stanley Cup champions take on the All-Stars from the other teams. There were other variants that saw a team of United States All Stars face Canadian All Stars. Similar to a format adopted by the NBA All Star Game, the NHL implemented a fantasy draft featuring two captains drafting the remaining all stars to their teams. The format lasted until 2015.
Since the 2016 season, your NHL All Star Game tickets bring you to a miniature tournament. All Stars from each of the four divisions compete in a single-elimination tournament. The format was tweaked in 2017 to bring more attention to the NHL All-Star Skills Competition. The winning division from the competition gets to choose the team that they play first. During years in which the Winter Olympics are held, it has been a tradition for the NHL All Star Game to be canceled in order to allow players to compete for their home country.
