2023 NHL All-Star Game

FLA Live Arena near Miami is the scene as the NHL All-Star Game returns for its 67th edition.

As in years past, the format will be tournament style, with the Metropolitan and Atlantic Divisions facing each other in a 20-minute game and a three-on-three format, followed by the Central and Pacific Divisions. Then the winners of each face off to determine a champion. Expect plenty of scoring.

Movie: Gwen Shamblin: Starving for Salvation

As the founder of the Tennessee-based Remnant Fellowship Church and the Weigh Down Workshop — a massively successful Christian-based diet program that preached the virtue of a slim waist and the power of prayer for weight loss —- Gwen Shamblin (Jennifer Grey) was a rare woman to lead a Southern megachurch. As her church grew across the nation, so did her iron-fisted grip as its leader accumulating power and money, while creating a larger-than-life public persona with dramatically teased and towering hair in this 2023 docudrama.

2023 Pro Bowl Games

Fans will see something completely different when they tune into what was the NFL’s version of an All-Star Game. Gone is the actual tackle football game between the top vote getters in the AFC and NFC. In its place will be a series of skills competitions and a non-contact flag football game, which will air with this broadcast from Allegiant Stadium outside Las Vegas. Peyton and Eli Manning will coach the teams and players expected to participate include Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs, Quinnen Williams of the New York Jets, Nick Chubb of the Cleveland Browns and Khalil Mack of the Los Angeles Chargers.
