The winter blast of snow did not deter fans of the NAHL from attending this year's All Star game that pitted the stars of the Eastern Conference versus the stars of the West. The game featured sixteen players from each division, all of whom were selected from fan voting. It was not without some controversy however. Some names that were left off the list raised a few eyebrows including league leading scorer Tom "Shemp" Champagne. There was also some grumbling about "too many players from Blue and Green". Of the sixteen players selected for the East squad only two were not from Blue or Green. James Van Riemsdyke of Yellow and Matt Niskanen of Mauve. The rest of the team consisted of players from the two most popular teams in the league. Goaltenders Any "Gump" Doherty and Kenny "Don't Ya Love Em Madly" Bradley. Defenseman Joe "Joe" Farrelly, Jeff "Hurricane" Cain, Jack "Jackhammer" Fraiser, John "Big Foot" Reagan along with forwards Andy "BTO" Bachmann, Tom "TC" Carroll, Phil "Commish" Stuart, Phillipe "La Missle" Lacasse, Dan "Lucky" Luker, Dan "Too Late" Early, Mark "Not My Brother" Rudz and Mike "The Little Cum" Commerford. Bradley started the game and Doherty came in at the mid point of the game. They allowed only one goal while their teammates scored fifteen goals on their way to an easy 15-1 win. The West squad coached by Dunc "Coach" Walsh was searching for answers all night and couldn't find any. The only goal scored for the West squad was scored by Teemu Salami of Chrome. "There is no doubt that most of the talent is in East", said Gary "Toe" Blake who coached the East team. "It was a great night for hockey fans and for the great cause, Hockey Fights Obesity".
The money raised by last night's game goes mainly to "HFO" ,but some of the money is used to cover league fees which is a
growing problem in the NAHL. "We used to think that was just a problem in the CCHL , but now it has infected the NAHL too", said Joe "Joe" Farrelly , the president of the Players Association. The following list is for The Hall of Shame. They are players who are driving this country off the fiscal cliff. They all drive fancy cars and have vacation homes in the Carribbean. Some even have gold teeth.

D. Tilly (2 years), T.Philby, 2 Late Early, J. Heathy, M.Rudz, TC Carroll, Big Cum Cummy, Hurricane Caino, BTO Bachmann and Bergs Bergault.
One way the league is trying to off set the deficit is through jersey sales. Blue, Green, Mauve and Chrome jerseys are the leading jersey sale items. The number one player jersey sold in 2012 is the Blue #69 Jack "Jackhammer" Fraiser jersey. It has sold more than Lebron James and Peyton Manning combined. "The Jackhammer has always been a fan favorite", says Paul "Pop" Gozawiezle, the president of the NAHL. "No one can really explain it, but the numbers don't lie."
