The Tim Hortons NHL All-Star Player Draft represents the return of a concept that was an entertaining and engaging element of previous All-Star Weekends. The captains of the four All-Star teams, who will be paired with celebrity captains, will select their teams from the remaining pool of All-Star players, in a televised draft on NHL All-Star Thursday.

Following the Tim Hortons NHL All-Star Player Draft will be a ceremony announcing the NHL Alumni Keith Magnuson Man of the Year, which will serve as a tribute to the Stanley Cup-winning 1966-67 Toronto Maple Leafs Club. The Keith Magnuson Man of the Year is presented annually to a former NHL Player who has applied the intangibles of perseverance, commitment and teamwork developed through the game into a successful post-career transition. There have been 21 previous honorees.

Capping off NHL All-Star Thursday will be the Canadian Tire PWHL 3-on-3 Showcase, featuring elite players from the Professional Women’s Hockey League, the top professional league in women’s hockey, in a 3-on-3 game showdown in front of the crowd at Scotiabank Arena.
