The National Hockey League All-Star Game is a mid-season exhibition game held annually between many of the top players of each season. Two All-Star Games has been held since the Seattle Kraken entered the league in 2021, with at least one player chosen to represent the franchise in each year. The All-Star game has not been held in various years: 1979 and 1987 due to the 1979 Challenge Cup and Rendez-vous '87 series between the NHL and the Soviet national team, respectively, 1995, 2005, and 2013 as a result of labor stoppages, 2006, 2010, and 2014 because of the Winter Olympic Games, and 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[8]
