All-Star Game selections The National Hockey League All-Star Game is a mid-season exhibition game held annually between many of the top players of each season. Sixty-eight iterations have been held since 1947, with at least one player chosen to represent the Canadiens in each year except 2001. Collectively, the All-Star game has not been held across several years: 1979 and 1987 due to the Challenge Cup and Rendez-vous '87 series between the NHL and the Soviet national team, 1995, 2005, and 2013 as a result of league labour stoppages, 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2026 because of player involvement at the Winter Olympic Games, 2021 out of precautionary reasons from the COVID-19 pandemic, and 2025 when it was substituted by the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament. Montreal has hosted a record twelve NHL All-Star Games to date: 1953, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1965, 1967, 1969, 1975, 1993, and most recently in 2009.

All-Star benefit games Prior to the institution of the National Hockey League All-Star Game the league held three different benefit games featuring teams of all-stars. The first was the Ace Bailey Benefit Game, held in 1934, after a violent collision with Eddie Shore of the Boston Bruins left Ace Bailey of the Toronto Maple Leafs hospitalized and unable to continue his playing career. In 1937, the Howie Morenz Memorial Game was held to raise money for the family of Howie Morenz of the Canadiens, who died from complications after being admitted to the hospital for a broken leg. The Babe Siebert Memorial Game was held in 1939 to raise funds for the family of the Canadiens' Babe Siebert, who drowned shortly after his retirement from professional hockey. +Montreal Canadiens players and coaches selected to All-Star benefit games Game Year Name Position References 1934 1937 Aurele Joliat 1939 Toe Blake Walter Buswell Wilf Cude Johnny Gagnon Paul Haynes Alfred Lepine Georges Mantha
