The NHL has gone back to the drawing board for its All-Star Game festivities and returned with an event unlike any seen in professional sports.

The NHL announced a new "Shooting Stars" challenge which will take 10 of the league's best players off the ice and put them on a platform in the stands, about 30 feet above the ice to pull off a variety of trick shots.

Think hockey meets Top Golf in a packed stadium. Players will be tasked with hitting a number of targets on the ice below to earn points.
