English: Ace Bailey (left) of the Toronto Maple Leafs shakes the hand of Eddie Shore, defenceman for the Boston Bruins at the benefit NHL All-Star Game held in honour of Bailey. Shore's hit on Bailey in a December 12, 1933 game, which ended the career and nearly killed Bailey, led the NHL to stage the benefit game. The concept of an All-Star Game would later become a permanent fixture for the NHL.
