The 9th National Hockey League All-Star Game took place at the
Detroit Olympia, home of the
Detroit Red Wings, on October 2, 1955. The Red Wings, winner of the
1955 Stanley Cup Finals, played a team of All-Stars, winning by a score of 3–1.
Uniforms
When the NHL mandated that all teams must have a white jersey beginning with the
1951-52 NHL season, the league at the time chose to make the white jersey the designated home uniform. However, prior to the
1955-56 season, the NHL reversed the designation, requiring home teams to wear their dark jerseys and visitors to wear white. As the first All-Star Game under these rules, the Red Wings wore their red uniforms, while the All-Stars wore the white uniforms worn by the Second Team All-Stars in
1951 and
1952. The white All-Star uniform with blue and red trim would continue to be worn through
1959. The white jersey would be adapted into a
throwback worn by the
Wales Conference All-Stars in the
1992 All-Star Game.
