As you'd expect, thanks to the virtue of the Ottawa Senators hosting the 2012 NHL All-Star Game, their fans were fervent with the voting. They elected four Senators to the game via democracy, and they'll have the most representatives at the league's annual celebration, held in Canada's Capital city from January 27 to 29.
How many representatives will your team have? Here's a team-by-team breakdown, with rookies in italics:
Ottawa Senators (5): Daniel Alfredsson, Jason Spezza, Milan Michalek, Erik Karlsson, Colin Greening
Vancouver Canucks (4): Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin, Alexander Edler, Cody Hodgson
Philadelphia Flyers (4): Claude Giroux, Kimmo Timonen, Sean Couturier, Matt Read
Toronto Maple Leafs (3): Dion Phaneuf, Phil Kessel, Joffrey Lupul
Boston Bruins (3): Tim Thomas, Tyler Seguin, Zdeno Chara
New York Rangers (3): Marian Gaborik, Dan Girardi, Henrik Lundqvist
Nashville Predators (3): Shea Weber, Ryan Suter, Craig Smith
Chicago Blackhawks (3): Marian Hossa, Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews
Detroit Red Wings (2): Pavel Datsyuk, Jimmy Howard
Washington Capitals (2): Alex Ovechkin, Dennis Wideman
Buffalo Sabres (2): Jason Pominville, Luke Adam
New Jersey Devils (2): Adam Henrique, Adam Larsson
Dallas Stars: Jamie Benn
Calgary Flames: Jarome Iginla

St. Louis Blues: Brian Elliott
Montreal Canadiens: Carey Price
Los Angeles Kings: Jonathan Quick
Carolina Hurricanes: Justin Faulk
Columbus Blue Jackets: Ryan Johansen
Colorado Avalanche: Gabriel Landeskog
Edmonton Oilers: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
Each team is represented, even if just by one rookie. Only 12 rookies were named to the team, so there were likely some snubs there as youngsters on teams with multiple All-Stars made way for rookies on teams that needed representation at the game.
