Ninety Nine All Stars Tour

1994 Ice hockey tour

1994 Ice hockey tour

The Ninety Nine All Stars Tour was a tour of ice hockey exhibition games where the Ninety Nine All Stars team toured five countries during the 1994–95 NHL lockout. It was formed by Wayne Gretzky, IMG and some of Gretzky's personal friends.

The purpose of the tour was to stay in shape during the lockout, raise money for charities and to promote ice hockey around the world. The team played a total of eight games in five countries, six against professional club teams and two against national All Star teams. The Ninety Nine All Stars were, indeed, truly all stars; , eleven players from the team have been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

In the first game, held at the Palace of Auburn Hills against the IHL's Detroit Vipers, the Ninety-Nines wore white NHLPA jerseys with black trim, as worn during a preceding series of NHLPA exhibition games. For the games in Europe, the team wore uniforms based upon the Detroit Red Wings' 1991–92 throwback uniform, themselves based upon the 1927–28 Detroit Cougars white uniforms with red stripes, but with the word "DETROIT" on the front wide stripe replaced with a cursive "Ninety Nine".
