The first all star game was played during the 1933/34 season. Why?

| The first NHL All-Star Game, albeit an unofficial one, was held in 1934 to benefit Toronto Maple Leafs forward Ace Bailey, who suffered a career-ending injury. On December 12, 1933, near the end of the second period of a game between the Leafs and the Boston Bruins in the Boston Garden, Bailey was tripped from behind by Bruins defenceman Eddie Shore, in retaliation for a check that Toronto defenceman King Clancy had delivered to Shore. Bailey was not the intended target of the check; Shore wanted to hit Clancy instead. Bailey was badly hurt, unconscious and bleeding. The Leafs' Red Horner took offence to the hit, and subsequently knocked out Shore with a punch. Shore was forgiven after the game when both players regained consciousness, with Bailey saying that it was "all part of the game." However, Bailey would pass out and lapse into convulsions. |

| The first "Offcial" NHL All Star game was not held until the 47-48 season and the first Hockey all star game came before the NHL in 1908 |

Leafsfan1 - this post is to let you know that you are officially banned from the forums at Pickuphockey.com. We have been tremendously patient while you continuously disregarded forum rules and blatantly ignored moderator requests. Tonight is the final straw. We will not tolerate this any further. Until we receive a sincere apology by email, and we arrive at an understanding of acceptable forum behavior, you are not permitted to post in the forums in our web site.
I suggest that you take this very seriously.
