National Hockey League All-Star Game

The National Hockey League All-Star Game (French: Match des Étoiles de la Ligue Nationale de Hockey) is an exhibition hockey game that marks the midway point of the National Hockey League's regular season, with many of the star players playing against each other. The starting lineup for the two teams, including the starting goaltender, is voted on by fans, while the remainder of the team rosters are chosen by the All-Star team's coaching staff, typically the head coaches of the teams that, at the time of the All-Star Game, are leading their respective conferences.
