The American All-Stars and Canadian All-Stars will go head-to-head in the Elite Women’s 3-on-3. It’s the third All-Star weekend in a row where women will participate.

The match up will feature nine skaters and one goalie on each team, including American All-Star Kendall Coyne.

Coyne made quite the statement last year when she competed in the NHL fastest skater contest and finished less than a second slower than the fastest NHL player.

Four teams representing the Atlantic, Central, Metropolitan and Pacific Divisions will play against each other in a two-round tournament. The three games will be played 3-on-3.

In the first round, the Metropolitan division will be playing the Atlantic division. The Central and Pacific divisions will play during the second round.

The two winners of each bracket will face off in the third round for the grand prize of $1 million.
