The NHL has canceled an Olympic sendoff event scheduled for February at the New York Islanders' arena and plan to hold All-Star Weekend festivities there in 2027, ESPN's Emily Kaplan reported Tuesday night.

UBS Arena was announced to host 2026 All-Star Weekend when the league figured it would experiment with the event as a jumping off point for players, coaches and staff to gather there and fly out of John F. Kennedy International Airport to Milan.
