Scheduled to start on the 4th of February is the NHL All-Star Game. The NHL All-Star Game is an ice hockey game held during the National Hockey League (NHL) regular season, with many of the league’s star players competing against each other.
The format of the game has changed over the years. Still, it typically features a mix of players from the league’s various divisions playing on teams picked by fan vote or by the league’s hockey operations department. The game is meant to showcase the league’s top talent and is usually held in late January or early February. The game is not held every year, the league skips some years, and the format changed in recent years to a 3-on-3 tournament format.
