History
First award	2009

The National Hockey League All-Decade teams were first named during the 2009–10 NHL season, to honor the best performers over the past decade at each position.

A panel of hockey figures, including NHL general managers, league employees, writers, and on-air personalities from NBC, Sportsnet and TVA Sports, chooses the All-Decade teams at the end of each decade. In 2020, the All-Decade team was announced during All-Star weekend.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

Alexander Ovechkin, Sidney Crosby, and Zdeno Chara are the only players to have been named to multiple teams, with Ovechkin the only player named to the First Team twice. The entire 2000s All-Decade First Team, except for the still-active Ovechkin, have been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
