History

The NHL originally awarded Sunrise, Florida the 2021 All-Star Game on January 24, 2020. The city previously hosted the NHL All-Star Game in 2003.[2]

On October 22, 2020, the NHL officially announced that the All-Star Game had been postponed for the 2020–21 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic and "uncertainty as to when we will be able to welcome our fans back to our games," as fan participation and accompanying events are considered "integral to the[ir] success". The NHL stated that the event could be held in Florida "in the near future" (but not yet naming them the 2022 hosts).[3][4]

On June 28, 2021, the league instead announced that the 2022 All-Star Game would take place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, home of the Vegas Golden Knights.[5] On February 4, 2022, the league later officially confirmed that Florida would host the 2023 game.[1]
