The World Hockey Association All-Star teams were first named at the end of the 1972–73 WHA season to honor the best performers over the season at each position.

The career leader in selections was Bobby Hull, who was named to a total of 5 All-Star teams (3 first, 2 second), all with the Winnipeg Jets. Four other players made the First Team three times: Andre Lacroix, Paul Shmyr, J. C. Tremblay, Anders Hedberg and Marc Tardif.[1][2]
