Fans are eagerly gearing up for the ultimate ice extravaganza at the 2024 NHL All-Star Game on February 3 in Toronto. Ahead of the game, find out who the captains are leading the charge this time.
Get ready to witness the ultimate ice extravaganza at the 2024 NHL All-Star Game on February 3 at the iconic Scotiabank Arena, home turf of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Toronto, a city soaked in hockey history, proudly hosts its ninth NHL All-Star Game, making it the first Canadian city since 2012 to snag this icy honor.
Scotiabank Arena, with a déjà vu from 2000, is ready to welcome the puck frenzy.
Breaking the ice, quite literally, the four-team, three-on-three showdown is getting a makeover by teaming up with the legendary "fantasy draft" format from 2011 to 2015.
Captains of the four teams are selected from a mix of fan votes and the NHL Hockey Operations Department.
Plus, Captains get to choose their dream teams, just like picking players for a fantasy league.
The selection of NHL players is scheduled for February 1, 2024.
