The production features sit-down interviews with top players in the NHL and media personalities throughout All-Star Weekend, which took place Feb. 1-3 in Toronto. The event featured NHL All-Star Thursday, the 2024 NHL All-Star Skills and the 2024 NHL All-Star Game at Scotiabank Arena. Viewers will get backstage access to the red carpet, the player draft and the PWHL 3-on-3 Showcase.

"Every single name is a big-time ticket," sportscaster and YouTube show host Jackie Redmond said.

The show also provides access to the NHL All-Star Game, with team captains Quinn Hughes, Nathan MacKinnon, Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid sharing commentary throughout. All 12 All-Star Skills competitors wore microphones while competing for the $1 million prize in events including the fastest skater, hardest shot, stickhandling, one-timers, passing challenge and accuracy shooting in the first round. The second round had the NHL One-on-One and an obstacle course concluded the event.

Cameras followed New York Rangers forward Vincent Trocheck and his children when they prepared to walk the red carpet and Matthews while he delivered a special pair of NHL All-Star skates to a young patient of the SickKids Hospital in Toronto.

"I think that's what this weekend is all about," Matthews said at the event. "Having fun and putting on a show for the fans."
