1973 WHA All-Star Game

The 1973 World Hockey Association All-Star Game was held in the Le Colisée in Quebec City, Quebec home of the Quebec Nordiques, on January 6, 1973. After a plan to pit WHA players against European players fell down due to legal reasons, the league instead pitted the two divisions against each other for an All-Star Game. The East All-Stars defeated the West All-Stars 6–2. Wayne Carleton was named the game's Most Valuable Player.
