The9th National Hockey League All-Star Game took place at theDetroit Olympia, home of theDetroit Red Wings, on October 2, 1955. The Red Wings, winner of the1955 Stanley Cup Finals, played a team of All-Stars, winning by a score of 3–1.
When the NHL mandated that all teams must have a white jersey beginning with the1951–52 NHL season, the league at the time chose to make the white jersey the designated home uniform. However, prior to the1955–56 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 in1951 and1952. The white All-Star uniform with blue and red trim would continue to be worn through1959. The white jersey would be adapted into athrowback worn by theWales Conference All-Stars in the1992 All-Star Game.
