Soviet Union: All-star team
Starting in 1958, the Soviet hockey federation annually named a varying number of "best players of the season" from different positions. From 1964 on, six "best players" (three forwards, two defencemen, one goaltender) were named at the end of each season, following the North American pattern of the "All-star teams".
In 1991-1992 a panel of "experts" retroactively picked All-star teams for the earlier seasons (1947-1957) and made additions to the 1958-1963 All-star teams to create uniform All-star teams of six players (three forwards, two defencemen, one goaltender) for the entire history of Soviet hockey.
