NHL adds new all-star events

The NHL all-star skills competition is set to feature two new outdoor events in South Florida: a mix of hockey and golf and a dunk tank on the beach. The all-star weekend is set for Feb. 3-4 in Sunrise and Fort Lauderdale. In what the NHL is calling “Pitch ’n Puck,” six players will play a par 4 with a combination of golf and hockey shots. “Splash Shot” will involve players shooting pucks at targets to dunk their opponents. The third new event, taking place indoors, is a goaltender shooting competition.
