The 2027 event includes a Fan Fest and Skills Competition on Tuesday, January 26 and the All-Star Game on Wednesday, January 27 at the Idaho Central Arena in downtown Boise. This week also includes the official induction ceremony of the 19th class of the ECHL Hall of Fame. Ticket information, game format and additional details will be announced at a later date.
“We are thrilled to return to Idaho to host the Warrior/ECHL All-Star Classic for the first time since 2007 and showcase the great city of Boise to the entire league,” said ECHL Commissioner Ryan Crelin. “The layout of the downtown Idaho Central Arena, the Grove Hotel and the surrounding area will be on display for our guests to enjoy, and we look forward to bringing the All-Star festivities back to the Steelheads fan base.”
“We are excited to host the 2027 ECHL All-Star Classic in Boise,” said Steelheads general manager Steven Anderson. “Hosting this event is an important opportunity to showcase our city, organization and passionate hockey community. Treasure Valley has a strong history of supporting hockey, and we look forward to providing a first-class experience for players and fans alike.”
The annual Midseason Showcase is attended by representatives from the National Hockey League and the American Hockey League and has produced 75 players who have gone on to play in the NHL since its inception, including 59 since 2002, when the format was changed to accommodate younger players.
The 2027 ECHL All-Star Classic marks the Steelheads’ second time as hosts, having previously hosted the 2007 event. Idaho joins Norfolk (1994 and 2022) and Reading (2005 and 2009) as the only two-time hosts in ECHL All-Star Classic history.
