NHL All Star Weekend Reimagined

I think we are going to change the purpose of this page to ideas on how to improve the way the NHL runs. First idea...I've been to the All-Star weekend and it couldn't have been more disappointing and boring to watch the game.

I think it is time to change things up. Drastically.

The next All Star weekend needs to be a World Stars Challenge. 6 teams (12 skaters and 2 goalies): USA, Canada, Russia, Scandinavia, Czech Republic (+/- Slovakia), World Stars.

Two pools of 3 teams. Round Robin Games 2 x 10 minute halves. Tiebreaker: 3 on 3 then shootout.

Friday: Pool A (with Canada)
Saturday: Pool B (with USA)
Sunday: Crossover Semi Finals and Final

Fun for everyone!


Each team plays 10 games. One home and one away against each of the other Canadian teams.

Teams in the same conference play each other more than twice during the regular season, however only two of the meetings were selected (home and away). The games selected were Nationally Televised on TSN, CBC-Hockey Night in Canada (particularly on Hockey Day in Canada), or Holidays where possible.

The Canadian Championship will use same point structure as the NHL Regular Season (W - 2 pts, OTL - 1 pt, SOL - 1 pt)

The Champion will be the team with the most points.
