NHL API – All-Star & Outdoor Game Flags

We've added boolean flags for NHL All-Star games and games played at outdoor venues in our NHL API.

Find these new attributes under the game element in all relevant Schedule and Game endpoints.

is_all_star_game – true when the game is an All-Star Game
is_outdoors – true when the game is played at an outdoor venue

Both flags may be present on a game and default to false, so a standard indoor, non-All-Star game returns false for each.

⭐ Benefit

Identify All-Star and outdoor games directly from the schedule, so you can label or filter these special events in your product without maintaining your own list.

📋 Recommended Actions

Read the is_all_star_game and is_outdoors flags from the game element in the Schedule and Game endpoints.
Use the flags to label or filter special events in your schedules and game views, rather than maintaining your own list of All-Star or outdoor games.
Treat both as standard booleans — expect false for typical indoor, non-All-Star games.
