Skill Competition events
Four of the traditional skills events (fastest skater, hardest shot, breakaway challenge and accuracy shooting) return this year, but there are also three new events. The winner of each event will earn $30,000.
- Splash Shot: Competition takes place on the beach in Fort Lauderdale, FL. The ocean spray, breeze and sand add to the challenge of this exceptional Skills event, as four pairs of players fire at targets to attempt to dunk their opponents.
- Pitch ‘n’ Puck: Using a combination of hockey and golf shots, four NHL All-Stars will play a par 4 featuring an island green. Lowest score wins the Chipotle NHL Pitch 'n Puck.
- Tendy Tandem: Eight goaltenders will participate in this event, with one goalie from each division designated the shooting goalie and one the in-net goalie. The shooting goalies will earn points based on the accuracy of their shots at the net, and the in-net goalies will face rushes of three, two or one player(s), based on the number of points earned by the shooting goalie in their tandem.
