 FANS HAVE SELECTED THE ALL-STAR GAME STARTING LINEUPS annually since 1986, including the starting lineup for Rendez-Vous '87 (NHL All-Stars vs. Soviet Union), which replaced the All-Star Game that year. Prior to 1986, fan voting was used once, determining the starters in 1979 when the NHL All-Stars faced the Soviet All-Stars in the Challenge Cup played at Madison Square Garden in New York.
TEAM SELECTION
The 2007-08 season marked the 20th year in which fans determined the starting lineups for the NHL All-Star Game. From Nov. 13 through Jan. 2, fans around the world were able to vote online at NHL.com for six Eastern Conference All-Stars and six Western Conference All-Stars: three forwards, two defensemen and one goaltender for each team. In addition, U.S. fans could cast votes through Verizon Wireless cell phones. The top three forwards, two defensemen and one goaltender from each Conference comprised the starting lineups. A total of 12,417,872 ballots were cast.
