The NHL all star game? I live in the Toronto area. We don't have a team, so I don't watch hockey.

Hey, I was present when they renamed Peel Centre Drive to Team Canada Drive, back in the 1970s, here in Brampton.

Yup, so old that I had forgotten what the original name of the road was and had to fix it
I was a cub scout, at the time, and they brought in members of the '72 Canada/Russia series team for the renaming.
