The KHL All-Star week is fast approaching and with that, the fan and media votes have concluded giving us the first surnames that will take the ice to shine bright. Players from the Women’s Hockey League and Junior Hockey League will travel to Chelyabinsk to begin the festivities that will be ongoing from Jan. 8-16.
First up were the fans who voted and selected their favorites, after those votes were cast the media had their say. So far? There haven’t been any surprises.

Ep 69: NHL Preseason, Rumors, Mike Babcock Saga
by Full Press Coverage on September 24, 2023 at 4:07 am
Jim and Chris are back to discuss the beginning of the NHL preseason, the […]
This year’s KHL All-Star game will be a little different than it used to be, there won’t be any divisional rivalry or no sporting concept whatsoever. The teams will represent geographical regions so the teammates on daily basis could no longer be teammates but opponents – battling each other.
Team Russia, not surprisingly, will be comprised exclusively of Russian players, Team North America brings together our Canadian and American imports, Team Scandinavia will feature players from Denmark, Sweden, and Finland, while all other nations in the KHL family – from France to China – will join Team Eurasia.
The schedule for the All-Star Weekend is changing as well. On Saturday, the first part of the Skill Show will be interspersed with the semi-final games in that 3-on-3 tournament. The following day will bring the culmination of both contests: the remaining Skill Show events and the medal games in the tournament.

KHL President Alexei Morozov:
After the 2020 Fonbet KHL All-Star Game in Moscow, we put in some serious work to devise a new sporting concept. Our working party looked at many different ideas before opting for a contest between our geographical regions. We have many classy players from many different countries in our league and we want to show that the KHL is not just Russia, but the whole world. We are sure that this new concept will be a big success – now, players from your favorite club can appear on any team at the All-Star Game.
