All-Star weekend
The 2018 AIHL All-Star Weekend was held at the Adelaide Ice Arena, Adelaide on 2 and 3 June 2018. The format of the weekend was unchanged from 2017 with a skills competition on 2 June and an all-stars game on 3 June. Adelaide Adrenaline's Josef Rezek and David Huxley were initially announced as the captains of the two teams replacing Jamie Bourke and Lliam Webster from 2016. Huxley was later replaced by the Adrenaline's Zachary Boyle due to Huxley's retirement prior to the 2018 season. The Adrenaline's head coach Jim Fuyarchuk and assistant coach Sami Mantere were named as the coaches of Team Boyle and Team Rezek respectively. APA Group re-signed as sponsor of the weekend after sponsoring the previous three events.
The skills competition saw the Adelaide Adrenaline and Sydney Bears take out two of the seven events each, while the Newcastle Northstars, Perth Thunder and Sydney Ice Dogs all picked up one each. On 3 June Team Rezek defeated Team Boyle 13-8 in the All-Star Game to claim the Mick McCormack Cup.
