SHREWSBURY, N.J. – The ECHL, in conjunction with the Allen Americans, announced today the game format and unveiled the jerseys for the 2026 Warrior/ECHL All-Star Classic, presented by Visit Allen & Allen CDC. The event takes place at Credit Union of Texas Event Center on Monday, Jan. 19, 2026.
In this year’s All-Star event, players from the Allen Americans will be combined with the ECHL All-Stars to form two teams – Stars and Stripes. A draft will take place leading up to the All-Star Classic to choose the two teams.
The game will consist of three periods of five-on-five play. Three skills events – fastest skater, hardest shot and accuracy shooting – will take place between periods, with the winning team of each event receiving a two-minute power-play opportunity at the start of the next period.
All-Star players will be announced in January 2026 following a vote of ECHL coaching staffs, captains, and media.
The jerseys that both teams will wear in the All-Star Classic were also unveiled today. Team Stars will wear a blue jersey featuring white stars while Team Stripes will wear a red jersey featuring several white stripes. All of the jerseys were produced by Athletic Knit, the exclusive jersey provider of the ECHL.
