Notes
Because ABC Sports had rights to both the NHL All-Star Game and the Pro Bowl , ABC aired the All-Star Game and the Pro Bowl on the same day from 2000 through 2003 , excluding 2002 . ABC dubbed these doubleheaders as “All-Star Sunday”.
The All-Star Game was dealt two serious blows in 2005. Not only was the game canceled along with the rest of the season as a result of the 2004–05 NHL lockout ,[29] [30] [31] but the subsequent CBA that ended the lockout stipulated that heretofore the game was to be held only in non-Olympic years. Thus, there was no All-Star Game held during the 2005–06 season either.[32]
1990s
Notes
NBC 's coverage of the 1990 All-Star Game marked the first time in a decade that an American over-the-air television network (as opposed to cable ) carried a NHL game nationally (since Game 6 of the 1980 Stanley Cup Finals aired on CBS ). This is because the game itself was played on a Sunday afternoon instead of a Tuesday night, as was the case in previous years – marking the first time that a national audience would see Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux play. Referees and other officials were also wired with microphones in this game, as were the two head coaches.[50] [51] [52] Finally, NBC was allowed to conduct interviews with players during stoppages in play, to the chagrin of the Hockey Night in Canada crew, whose attempts to do likewise were repeatedly denied by the league in past years. (Technically, it was not quite a national broadcast as NBC's affiliates in Atlanta , Charlotte , Memphis , New Orleans , Indianapolis and Phoenix didn't air the game.)
In 1991 , NBC broke away from the live telecast of the All-Star Game during the third period in favor of Gulf War coverage; SportsChannel America showed the rest of the contest later that day.
The 1996 and 1997 All-Star Games were televised in prime time .
1980s
Notes
The 1980 American coverage from Hughes used CBC 's feed.
Locally in New York, the NHL All-Star Game was broadcast on WOR-TV Channel 9 until 1982 . Beginning in 1983 , it was broadcast on the NHL's cable TV partner.
1970s
Notes
The Challenge Cup replaced the All-Star Game in 1979. Staged at Madison Square Garden , the Challenge Cup was a best-of 3-series between the NHL All-Stars against the Soviet Union national squad . Games 1 and 3 were shown on the NHL Network , while Game 2 was carried, in bizarre fashion, on CBS .[89] First, only the third period was aired on CBS (as part of CBS Sports Spectacular ), which had a problem with the dasher board advertising that the NHL sold at Madison Square Garden . The network (after complaints from other CBS sponsors) refused to allow the ads to be shown; as a result, viewers were unable to view the far boards above the yellow kickplate, and could only see players' skates when the play moved to that side of the ice. (Games 1 and 3 were seen in their entirety on the NHL Network, which had no problem with the advertising.)
