What are the events?

With so many events happening over the course of the weekend, it can be hard to decide which to attend and which to skip. 

At the All-Star Players Draft, which kicks off at 6pm on Feb.1, captains of each of the four All-Star teams, paired with celebrity captains, will select their team from the pool of 44 NHL players.

The NHL Alumni Keith Magnuson Man of the Year is a ceremony which honours a former NHL player who embodies perseverance, commitment and teamwork in their post-career. This year's ceremony will also include a tribute to the Maple Leafs team of 1967. 

The PWHL 3-0n-3 Showcase is a tournament where elite players from the newly formed Professional Womens Hockey League compete in a series of 3-on-3 games.

At All-Star Skills, All-Star players will compete in a series of challenges to show off their skills ahead of the tournament.

Finally, at the All-Star Game, you will see the four teams comprised of NHL legends compete to be crowned 2024's NHL All-Star Champions.
