Moments ago, the NHL released the first collection of players to attend this year's All-star game by unveiling the Eastern Conference roster.
The first 32 players selected to the game will all come from a different team, which is an NHL policy to make sure all teams are represented at the game.
Later tonight, the NHL will also release the opening 16 players from the Western Conference, again being one player from each team.
UPDATE: The list of Western Conference All-Stars is below.
