First Fonbet 2025 KHL All-Star Game participants!
The fan voting to choose the players for the Fonbet 2025 KHL All-Star Game has concluded. The names of the first 16 players who will participate in the All-Star weekend in Novosibirsk are now known.
Bobrov Division
Goalie: Maxim Dorozhko (Vityaz, 2nd ASG appearance) – 2621;
Defenseman: Bogdan Konyushkov (Torpedo, 2nd ASG appearance) – 1813;
Forwards: Nikolai Goldobin (Spartak, 3rd ASG appearance) – 2177, Evgeny Kuznetsov (Traktor, 4th ASG appearance) – 2163.
From the Bobrov Division, fans selected representatives from four different league clubs. Dorozhko returns to the All-Star Game after a one-season absence, Konyushkov will participate for the second year in a row, and Goldobin makes his third appearance. Evgeny Kuznetsov also took part in three consecutive All-Star Games from 2011 to 2013. Now, he returns to the league’s marquee event after a 12-year hiatus.
Tarasov Division
Goalie: Daniil Isayev (Lokomotiv, 2nd ASG appearance) – 4566;
Defenseman: Igor Ozhiganov (Dynamo Moscow, 2nd ASG appearance) – 1456;
Forwards: Vadim Shipachyov (Dinamo Minsk, 6th ASG appearance) – 3861, Nikita Gusev (Dynamo Moscow, 6th ASG appearance).
Isayev, like Dorozhko, returns to the All-Star Game after a one-season break. Igor Ozhiganov participated only once before, back in 2017 in Ufa, during the inaugural Week of Hockey Stars. Vadim Shipachyov last appeared at the All-Star Weekend in 2020 in Moscow, while Gusev took part just last year in St. Petersburg. For both Gusev and Shipachyov, the All-Star Game in Novosibirsk will mark the sixth appearance at the event.
The first member of this team to be announced was first-timer Sam Anas (Dinamo Minsk), who won the fan vote among the heroes of this season’s Fonbet Overtime.
Kharlamov Division
Goalie: Zach Fucale (Traktor, 1st ASG appearance) – 2855;
Defenseman: Yegor Yakovlev (Metallurg, 3rd ASG appearance) – 1012;
Forwards: Maxim Shabanov (Traktor, 2nd ASG appearance) – 2181, Stephane Da Costa (Avtomobilist, 4th ASG appearance) – 1678.
Traktor’s goalie Zach Fucale won the fan vote in the Kharlamov Division by a wide margin, earning his first career All-Star Game appearance. Yegor Yakovlev will extend his streak to three consecutive All-Star Weekends. Maxim Shabanov, who was selected by media representatives last year, has now been chosen by the fans. Stephane Da Costa, like Shipachyov, last participated in 2020, and this time, he has been selected by the fans for the first time.
Chernyshev Division
Goalie: Denis Kostin (Sibir, 1st ASG appearance) – 2460;
Defenseman: Trevor Murphy (Sibir, 2nd ASG appearance) – 2887;
Forwards: Reid Boucher (Avangard, 1st ASG appearance) – 2931, Joshua Leivo (Salavat Yulaev, 1st ASG appearance) – 1575.
This Division features three newcomers. Fans from Novosibirsk selected their own players: goaltender Denis Kostin and defenseman Trevor Murphy. Kostin will make his All-Star debut, while Murphy will participate for the second time, once again through fan voting. Reid Boucher, who was also selected by fans last year but couldn’t participate due to injury, will finally make his debut this season. Joshua Leivo will also debut, despite finishing third in the fan vote. From Sibir, only the top two vote-getters could advance, which meant Taylor Beck could not be selected.
On November 27, voting by media representatives will begin, followed by the league’s selections.
Advance ticket sales for the JHL Challenge Cup and the Fonbet KHL All-Star Game will open on November 28 at 11:00 AM (Moscow time) on the website www.allstarweek.com and will be available exclusively via the Faster Payments System (FPS).
The All-Star Weekend kicks off on February 8, with fans treated to the Master Show competitions and two semifinal mini-tournament games on the first day. The following day, February 9, will feature the second part of the Master Show, the third-place game, and the final.
