SHREWSBURY, N.J. - The ECHL, in conjunction with the Norfolk Admirals, announced today the game format and unveiled the jerseys for the 2023 Warrior/ECHL All-Star Classic, presented by Optima Health and Sentara Healthcare. The event takes place at Norfolk Scope Arena on Monday, Jan. 16, 2023.

The event will feature four teams competing in a 3-on-3 tournament that features rally scoring for the top spot. The Destroyers and Cruisers will be two teams made up of the host Norfolk Admirals roster. They will face off against two additional teams comprised of All-Star players from the Eastern and Western Conferences. A total of 10 players-five forwards, four defensemen, and a goaltender-will make up each of the four teams.

The 2023 ECHL All-Star Skills Competition will take place between rounds of the tournament with results counting towards the cumulative score. The format was used in Toledo in 2019 and in Wichita in 2020.

All-Star players will be announced in January 2023 following a vote of ECHL coaching staffs, captains, and media.
