Sponsored by Toyota, the contest gives fans the chance to receive roundtrip transportation to Ontario, Calif. and lodging at the Ontario Hilton Airport, the official host hotel of the 2010 ECHL All-Star Game, as well as complimentary tickets to all events including the ECHL Hall of Fame luncheon, the All-Star Fan Fest and postgame VIP reception.

Six coaches and 58 players from the All-Star Game have advanced to the National Hockey League. The annual midseason showcase is attended by representatives from the National Hockey League and the American Hockey League and there have been 33 players who have gone on to play in the NHL since 2002 when the lineups began having players who coaches felt were prospects to move up to a higher level.
The past seven ECHL All-Star Games have generated more than $1 million each for the local economy as guests, players, coaches and fans occupy hundreds of hotel rooms and spend three days in the host city.
The game has been available live on the NHL Network the last seven years as well as being broadcast on multiple regional networks. The audio broadcast has been carried on XM Satellite Radio as well as being available in all ECHL markets.
The Stanley Cup and the Patrick J. Kelly Cup will both be on display throughout the event, marking the 10th time in the last 11 years that the NHL championship trophy and the ECHL championship trophy have been displayed together at the All-Star Game.
