February 1, 2016 Nashville, Tennessee Format On November 18, 2015, the NHL announced significant changes to the All-Star Game format, replacing the previous two-team format with a 3-on-3 tournament between All-Star teams representing the league's four divisions; the Atlantic division played the Metropolitan, while the Central played the Pacific. Each game was played in two 10-minute halves, and went directly to a shootout in the event of a tie. The winners of the two semi-final games played in a championship game to determine the winner of the competition.How the NHL's new 3-on-3 All-Star tournament works http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/how-the-nhls-new-3-on-3-all-star-tournament-works/ Sportsnet.ca Rogers Media 17 April 2016 Rosters National Hockey League staff and associates voted internally to determine the rosters. Fan voting was altered to match the new divisional format. Voting determined the captains of each division, with the condition the player plays in the division they captain. This change was likely due to recent exploitation of the older method. For example, the fan votes in the 2015 All-Star Game were dominated by Chicago Blackhawks players and Buffalo Sabres forward Zemgus Girgensons, who was voted in following a heavy campaign in his native country of Latvia.McIndoe Sean The Apathy and Absurdity of the NHL All-Star Game http://grantland.com/the-triangle/the-apathy-and-absurdity-of-the-nhl-all-star-game/ Grantland.com ESPN Internet Ventures January 3, 2016 January 22, 2015Stevenson Dave NHL All-Star Game Needs To Be Fixed, Here's How http://starsandsticks.com/2015/01/12/nhl-all-star-game-fixed/ starsandsticks.com FanSided, Inc.

Once again, the dark uniform was black and the light uniform was white, but the trim colors included dark gray and golden yellow, with the uniform numbers featuring a two-tone beveled design. Both jerseys featured gray upper sleeves and a gray panel on the back containing the nameplate. The three stars of the Flag of Tennessee were featured on the collar of the jersey and the right pants leg. Because only two jersey designs were used, all four divisional teams were issued jerseys in both colors. In the first game, the Atlantic Division wore black against the Metropolitan Division in white, while in the second game, the Pacific Division wore white against the Central Division in black. For the final game, the Atlantic and Pacific Division teams switched jersey colors, with the Atlantic now wearing white against the black-clad Pacific.
