The fun starts at 7 PM EST with the Young Stars Game and the NHL Superskills Competition. The Young Stars game features 3-on-3 action with only one faceoff, limited whistles, and penalty shots in the place of 2 minute timeouts.
The Superskills Competition will feature the events we all know and love such as the accuracy, hardest shot and fastest skater drills. New to the 2008 All-Star weekend in the breakaway contest, an event that will see players judged out of 10 by celebrity judges on the fanciness and effectiveness of their dekes. Think a slam dunk competition, only in the NHL.
