The NHL’s version of the Slam Dunk Competition may be no more, but there were plenty of memories from the six years the event was held. Alex Ovechkin, a three-time winner, really set the bar high during 2009 All-Star Weekend with his use of props. Years later, Ryan Johansen and Jakub Voracek would use their own props during the 2015 event in Columbus.
Here’s a look back at some of the best moments from the NHL Breakaway Challenge.
The Tampa Bay Lightning, who are celebrating their 25th season, and the city of Tampa will host the 2018 Honda NHL All-Star Weekend.
