KHL All-Star Game
The all-star game of the Continental Hockey League ( Russian Матч Всех Звёзд Континентальной Хоккейной Лиги ) is an ice hockey friendly game of the best and most popular players of the European professional league Continental Hockey League (KHL), which, after having played a large part of the regular season is, as a competition between two selection teams takes place. While a selection of foreign players competed against Russian players in each of the first two editions, the 2011 edition saw a duel between a selection from the West against a selection from the East Conference. In 2017 the format was changed: Each of the four divisions put together a team, which determined a final pairing in the semi-finals.
Each of the two teams consists of two goalkeepers, six defenders and nine forwards. The first six players per team to open the game are chosen by the fans. The remaining players per team are selected by media representatives and the KHL league management.
Before the actual All-Star Game, the KHL All-Star Skills Competition takes place, in which the various skills of the players present are demonstrated.
