The National Hockey League is hosting their All-Star Weekend in South Florida this weekend. This is your open post to talk about anything and everything related to the All-Star Skills Competition and All-Star Games for this year. Both will include The Big Deal, Jack Hughes, as the representative of the New Jersey Devils
The First Event: The NHL All-Star Skills Competition
The Date: Friday, February 3, 2023
The Time: 7:00 PM ET

The Events: There are the four traditional events plus three new ones for this year. Here is the full list of who is in what competition. The events are:
- Fastest Skater
- Hardest Shot
- Breakaway Challenge - The Big Deal was in this last year, donned a cape, and provided a smaller version of himself to score. He’s not in this year’s challenge, though.
- Accuracy Shooting - The Big Deal will be in this year’s accuracy shooting competition.
- Splash Shot - This is new. This is a beach event where two teams of four have to hit targets before trying to dunk their opponents. Winner is the team who dunks the other team first.
- Pitch ‘n Puck - This is new. Six players will effectively play a Par 4 hole amongst each other.
- Tendy Tandem - This is new. Eight goalies will be working in tandems of two, with one shooting from a spot and the other making stops on other players. Points are awarded by the goalies scoring.
Other Notes: Per the ESPN press release, Pat Maroon will be a guest. Former Devils P.K. Subban and Kevin Weekes will be a part of the broadcast. Subban will be in the studio with Steve Levy along with Chris Chelios and “Weeping” Mark Messier.
