The
2019 National Hockey League All-Star Game
was held at
SAP Center
in
San Jose
, home of the
San Jose Sharks
on January 26, 2019.
[1]
San Jose last held the NHL All Star Game in
1997
.
[2]
This was the fourth consecutive All-Star Game that used a four-team, 3-on-3, single elimination format, with one team representing each of the league's four divisions. After years of being held on a Sunday, the 2019 All-Star Game was played on a Saturday, January 26, at 5 p.m.
PST
/8 p.m.
EST
, while the Skills Competition was also moved from its traditional Saturday night to Friday, January 25, 2019.
[1]
The Metropolitan All-Stars won the All-Star Game, which was in its fourth straight year of a four-team, 3-on-3, single elimination format, with one team representing each of the league's four divisions. The team won $1 million (split 11 ways between the players).
Sidney Crosby
of the
Pittsburgh Penguins
was named the Most Valuable Player, scoring four goals and four assists. He received a new 2019
Honda Passport
which he then proceeded to give to an
Army
veteran.
Skills Competition
[
edit
]
The Skills Competition took place the day before the All-Star Game on Friday January 25, 2019 at the SAP Center. The winners of each event were awarded $25,000 in prize money.
[3]
The league invited
Renata Fast
and
Rebecca Johnston
from the
Canadian Women's National Team
, and
Brianna Decker
and
Kendall Coyne Schofield
from the
U.S. Women's National Team
, to demonstrate some of the events. After
Nathan MacKinnon
of the
Colorado Avalanche
(Central Division) pulled out of the fastest-skater event due to a bruised left foot,
Coyne Schofield
was named as his replacement, becoming the first woman to compete in the All-Stars skills competition.
[4]
Brianna Decker
demonstrated the premier passer skill, but she was not part of the competition. She was, in fact, three seconds faster than
Leon Draisaitl
and would have won had her time been included as they did with Kendall Coyne Schofield.
[5]
This prompted the hashtag #PayDecker on Twitter, as women's hockey salaries are a fraction of men's hockey salaries.
[6]
On January 26, hockey equipment company
CCM
announced they would give Decker the $25,000 she would have received for winning the competition.

As in the previous three All-Star Games, captaincy of each division was determined by a fan vote, the 2019 vote running from December 1, 2018, until December 23, 2018.
[14]
On December 27, the four captains were announced by the NHL. For the third straight year,
Connor McDavid
of the
Edmonton Oilers
was selected to captain the
Pacific Division
, along with first time captains
Auston Matthews
of the
Toronto Maple Leafs
for the
Atlantic Division
and
Nathan MacKinnon
of the
Colorado Avalanche
for the
Central Division
.
Alexander Ovechkin
of the
Washington Capitals
was selected for the
Metropolitan Division
,
[15]
but Ovechkin opted to abstain from the game to rest.
[16]
Fans were also permitted, after most of the rest of the rosters were set, to vote for a "Last Man In" for each division.
[17]
The Last Men In?
Jeff Skinner
(Atlantic),
Gabriel Landeskog
(Central),
Kris Letang
(Metropolitan) and
Leon Draisaitl
(Pacific)?were announced January 11.
[18]

of the
Tampa Bay Lightning
(Atlantic),

Festivities and entertainment
[
edit
]
This year's NHL Fan Fair, featuring various fan activities during All-Star Weekend, was held between Thursday, January 24 and Sunday, January 27 at the
San Jose Convention Center
.
[25]
Country music artist
Chad Brownlee
performed the
Canadian national anthem
while singer
Lauren Jauregui
performed the
U.S. national anthem
. Singer

performed during the second intermission. The

[26]
Television
[
edit
]
The All-Star Game and skills competition were broadcast in the United States by
NBC
and
NBCSN
, respectively. In Canada, both the All-Star Game and skills competition were broadcast In English on both
CBC
and
Sportsnet
(under the
Hockey Night in Canada
branding), and on
TVA Sports
in French.
[14]
The NHL conducted a trial of player and puck tracking during the All-Star Game with technology developed by one of the German
Fraunhofer Institutes
using transmitters embedded inside pucks and jerseys.
[27]
The technology enables on-air features such as speed displays, puck tracking graphics (reminiscent of the
FoxTrax
graphics utilized in the late 1990s by previous U.S. national NHL broadcaster
Fox
, developed by Sportvision), and marker graphics hovering above players.
[28]
Using the system, NBC and Sportsnet both showcased some tracking data on their respective broadcasts,
[29]
while NBC also offered a secondary broadcast of the game via its digital platforms to showcase expanded real-time statistics and other information.
[30]
[31]
NHL Commissioner
Gary Bettman
stated during All-Star weekend that the league planned to deploy the system to all 31 NHL arenas prior to the start of the
2019?20 NHL season
.
