Ninety Nine All Stars 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; as of 2022^[update], eleven players from the team have been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
