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. Eleven All-Star Games have been held since the Wild entered the league in 2000, with at least one player chosen to represent the Wild in each year except 2001 and 2002. The All-Star game has not been held in various years: 1979 and 1987 due to the 1979 Challenge Cup and Rendez-vous '87 series between the NHL and the Soviet national team, respectively, 1995, 2005, and 2013 as a result of labor stoppages, and 2006, 2010, and 2014 because of the Winter Olympic Games.[14] Minnesota has hosted one of the games. The 54th took place at Xcel Energy Center.
