The 90-minute event will feature the 2017 NHL All-Star Celebrity Shootout, a hockey game pitting NHL legends against A-list celebrities. Both teams will be wearing jerseys with a patch dedicated to Alan, who was a passionate fan of the sport.

John Legend, Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and Bobby Orr are just a few of the celebrities confirmed to take part in the game. Select All-Star Celebrity Shootout game-worn jerseys will be available for auction following the match, which benefits Echoes of Hope, a nonprofit organization that strives to inspire hope in the lives of at-risk and emancipated foster youth.

The star-studded ceremony will be hosted by actor Jon Hamm, and will honor "the best players to ever skate in the rink," as well as NHL's 100-year history.

"To share a stage with the NHL legends I idolized as well as the best players in the league today will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I can't wait to bring this unique hockey celebration to my second hometown, Los Angeles."

According to Steve Mayer, NHL Chief Content Officer and Executive Vice President, Jan. 27 will be "an unforgettable night."

"The NHL All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles is a fitting backdrop for a star-studded show that will salute the legends who have thrilled hockey fans and transformed the game and the League in the most meaningful ways over the NHL century," he said in a statement.
