I am presuming, and possibly wrongly, that you are asking about ice hockey and the NHL.
Although the first official All-Star game did not begin until the 1947-48 NHL season, there have been several occasions in the NHL where benefit games and all-star teams were created. The first all-star game in hockey, however, predated the NHL, when the Eastern Canada Amateur Hockey Association had an all-star game on January 2, 1908 in memory of Montreal Wanderers player Hod Stuart, who had drowned three months after the Wanderers won the Stanley Cup. The proceeds of that game, which was won by the Wanderers 10-7 over a team of all-stars from the rest of the league, went to Stuart's family.

This same site in a following paragraph also states:
The first all-star game in the NHL started in 1934 to benefit Toronto Maple Leafs forward Ace Bailey, who suffered from a career-ending injury.
