Between periods, the celebration will feature the next generation of local Hockey talent. During the first intermission, Minor Hockey Initiation Program Timbits players will hit the ice for a five-minute game, while the second intermission will feature a Minor Hockey Showdown.
The All-Star Game rosters will feature players who have distinguished themselves through the first half of the 2024-25 season, representing the scoring leaders, defensive stalwarts, and goaltending standouts from across the league’s two conferences.
