WHA All-Star Game

The World Hockey Association was a professional hockey league founded in 1973. The WHA ceased to exist after merging with the National Hockey League in 1979. In total, the league held seven all-star games, with four of the matchups involving the Western and Eastern Divisions. Two matched league All-Stars against world competition and one utilized the defending Avco Cup champion. All except the last edition was one game, as the league elected to use their All-Star team (composed of five of the six surviving teams) to play Moscow Dynamo for three games. [1][2]
