Fan balloting
Voting for CWHL all-star captains started in January 2017. Online voting required fans to vote on the CWHL.com web site. Fans are presented with a list of 34 players. Carlee Campbell of the Toronto Furies led all players in the online voting, capturing 2088 votes. She would be named captain of Team White. Natalie Spooner and Meaghan Mikkelson both captured 11.71% of possible online votes, both sharing in the captaincy for Team Blue. Of note, this marked the first time that one team in the CWHL All-Star Game had two captains.

Alumni coaches
In celebration of the CWHL's tenth anniversary season, a group of four former players were named as Alumni Coaches for the All-Star Game. Among them were Lisa-Marie Breton, Tessa Bonhomme, Becky Kellar and Cheryl Pounder. Each of these alumni coaches were eligible for selection in the Frozen Fantasy Draft.

Fantasy draft
The draft of the players took place on February 10, 2017 at 8:00 pm, Eastern time. It was held at the Hilton Hotel in Toronto.

With the first pick overall, Team White's Carlee Campbell selected Marie-Philip Poulin. It marked the second year in a row that Poulin was taken first overall in the Frozen Fantasy Draft. As Team Blue had two captains, Meaghan Mikkelson and Natalie Spooner, they were only allocated four draft picks, while Team White was allowed five picks. The remaining rosters were determined with a random stick draw.

As alumni coaches were also subject to the Frozen Fantasy Draft process, Team White once again had the prestige of the first pick overall, selecting Tessa Bonhomme. Team Blue would acquire Cheryl Pounder with the second pick overall. With their final selection, Team White picked Becky Kellar as their second alumni coach, while Lisa-Marie Breton-Lebreux would end up with Team Blue.
