The very first official NHL All-Star Game was held a long, long time ago - in the 1947-48 NHL season. And many things have changed in those 62 years - the format of the All-Star Game, rules etc. But there have also been "unofficial" ALL-Star games, like the Hod Stuart Benefit All-Star Game in 1908 between Montreal Wanderers and the Eastern Canada Amateur Hockey Association stars.
