2020 FONBET KHL All-Star Game full rosters announced

The KHL is proud to announce the completion of the third and final stage of the selection process to determine the players who will compete in the KHL Master Show and KHL All-Star Game to take place in Moscow on Jan. 18-19, 2020. The teams representing the four Divisions of the League will first compete in the Master Show, then, the next day, in the KHL All-Star Game, comprising a mini-tournament between the four teams.

As tradition dictates, the All-Star Game rosters were established with a three-stage process. The first phase of the selection process was the fans’ vote when the supporters chose two defensemen and two forwards for each Division. This was followed by the journalists’ selections when members of the media cast their votes to add one goaltender, one defenseman, and one forward to each team. The third and final stage was the League’s vote when 16 more stars (one goaltender, one defenseman, and two forwards per team) were selected by the KHL. Right before the game, the best four players from the JHL Challenge Cup – scheduled for Jan. 12 – will strengthen the four Division teams.

40 players, representing 24 KHL teams, will skate in Moscow:
