ESBG Allstar Game
The ESBG-Allstar-Game was an annual friendly game of the ESBG -Ligen Oberliga and 2. Bundesliga from 2006 to 2008 . In this game, selected players competed against each other in two teams. Here the Black-Red-Gold team met the United Nations team . Each league team posted one player and each second division team one to three players. Some of the actors could be selected by the fans in the specialist magazine Ice Hockey News . The rest was determined by sports journalists and experts.
The skills competition was also part of the event . Based on the example of the DEL All-Star Games or the NHL All-Star Games , the competition determined the hardest slap shot, the fastest skater or the best dribbling relay. The skills competition traditionally took place before the actual All-Star game.
The entire proceeds from the event went to the Ethiopia Aid “ Menschen für Menschen ” run by Karlheinz Böhm , who played ice hockey himself in his childhood .
