Page "National Hockey League All-Star Game" Paragraph 17

Although the All-Star Game called for the defending Cup champion to host it, the game was held in Chicago Stadium in its second year as a consequence of the negotiations that set up the first game.

Also as a peculiarity as a result of the scheduling, the game was held not before the season started ( as was the case before and would be for almost 20 years following the game ), but three weeks into the season.

Like the year before, players from the First and Second NHL All-Star teams were automatically awarded spots on the All-Star Game rosters ( an exception was Leafs goalie Turk Broda, having won the Cup, played for the Leafs instead ), with the rest of the all-stars being assembled so that each team was represented with at least three players on the All-Stars.

As for the game itself, the All-Stars had won 3 – 1 with all of the scoring done in the second period.
