Why can't there be a Canadian NHL All-star game played outdoors in Yellowknife?

I think there should be a hockey All-star game played once a year....in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, under the spell of the Northern Lights (aurora borealis)
(The Northern Lights would shine down on the rink, plus fireworks.) It would be a nature/man-made show combined when they would do the Hockey Line Up. It would be a really cool effect.
(Eastern Canada VS. Western Canada).

In American football there's something called the Pro-Bowl and it is an All-star match NFC VS AFC teams. The game is played once a year in Honolulu, Hawaii.

So for Canada, I say this...why not make something like that for hockey, and put it up in Yellowknife? Let the Territories get a piece of the action.
 
It's an awesome idea, but most of the NHL boys have never played on natural ice. They are accustomed to indoor ice, and a perfectly smooth surface - something that is difficult to achieve outdoors.
Perhaps it could be done outside of the NHL venue, as a separate and very special event.
