| | 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 first All-Star game in hockey, however, predated the NHL, when the Eastern Canada Amateur Hockey Association had an All-Star Game on January 2, 1908 in memory of Montreal Wanderers player Hod Stuart, who had drowned three months after the Wanderers won the Stanley Cup. |
 | | The next three scheduled games are acheduled for Dallas, Texas in 2007, Atlanta, Georgia in 2008 and the greater Phoenix, Arizona area (with the game in nearby Glendale) in 2009, the latter two as compensation for cancelled games in 2005 (due to the lockout) and 2006 (Winter Olympics). |
