The 2024 National Hockey League All-Star Game is an upcoming National Hockey League All-Star Game, scheduled to be held on February 3 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, the home of the Toronto Maple Leafs. This will be the first year that the four-team, three-on-three format used since 2016 is combined with the "fantasy draft" format used from 2011 to 2015.[1]
History
The NHL awarded Toronto as the host city of the game on February 3, 2024. This will be the first time since 2012 in Ottawa that a Canadian city was selected to host the game. This will be Toronto's ninth time hosting the NHL All-Star Game, including the first game in 1947. This will be the second time that Scotiabank Arena (then known as Air Canada Centre) will host the game, the first time coming in 2000.[2]
Rosters
On November 27, 2023, the NHL announced that the fantasy player draft, used from 2011 to 2015, will make its return to the All-Star Game, while keeping the three-on-three format used since 2016. Like in the 2023 All-Star Game, the player selection process will be performed in two stages, with the league's initially selecting 32 players, one for each team, and then the remaining 12 players will be decided by fan vote. The league will then select four players to be captains for each of the four teams, and the draft of the players will take place on February 1, 2024.[1]
On January 14, the head coaches were announced, chosen from the team in each division with the highest points percentage through January 13: Jim Montgomery of the Boston Bruins (Atlantic), Peter Laviolette of the New York Rangers (Metropolitan), Rick Bowness of the Winnipeg Jets (Central), and Rick Tocchet of the Vancouver Canucks (Pacific).[3]
On January 22, Kyle Connor and Vincent Trocheck were added as replacements for Connor Bedard and Jack Eichel who were unable to play due to injury.[4]

The league announced its 32 selections on January 4:[5]
