They started with with the rookie game I think. When in the past every team had to be represented even after injuries. Every team is only represented as an olive branch, its something they choose to do but do not have to.From a random Bleacher Report article:
"In the MLB, each team must have one representative in the All-Star game. However, the NHL has found a way around that by including rookies in the skills challenge and counting those players as representatives for their teams."
