The Northstars won the match 10–2.[12]
Personnel changes
On 23 November the Melbourne Ice announced the signing of Johan Steenberg to the position of Director of Operations.[13] Steenberg returns to the Ice after a year with the CBR Brave where he acted as their Director of Player Development and Player Personnel.[13] Steenberg was previously the Ice's goaltender coach from 2014 to 2017.[13] The following month the Melbourne Ice appointed Australian men's national team head coach Brad Vigon to the position of head coach.[14] Vigon replaces interim head coach Sandy Gardner who had been in the role since June 2018.[14] Gardner was subsequently appointed an assistant coach role along with Brent Laver and Glen Mayer[15] Laver moves into the role having been the development coach for the last two seasons and Mayer was previously an assistant coach at the Ice from 2014 to 2016.[15] On 7 December the AIHL announced that Rob Bannerman had stepped down as commissioner due to a career move in the United States. Bannerman had been in the position for the past six years.[16] In March the Melbourne Ice appointed Mark Smith to the position of general manager.[17] Smith is currently head coach of the Melbourne Ice Women's team.[17] On 28 February the Newcastle Northstars announced the signing of John Kennedy as head coach following his retirement as a player.[18] Kennedy will be assisted by associated coaches Joe Theriault and Ray Sheffield.[18] On 10 April the CBR Brave announced the signing of former Ligue Magnus player Max Ross to the position of assistant coach.[19]

All-Star weekend
The 2019 AIHL All-Star Weekend was held at the International Convention Centre Sydney on 14 and 15 June 2019.[108] The format of the weekend is unchanged from 2018 with a skills competition on 14 June and an all-stars game on 15 June.[108] The teams however were re-aligned on a North/South basis.[109] Team North included players from the CBR Brave, Newcastle Northstars, Sydney Bears and Sydney Ice Dogs.[109] Team South included players from the Adelaide Adrenaline, Melbourne Ice, Melbourne Mustangs and Perth Thunder.[109] Sydney Bears' Michael Schlamp and Perth Thunder's Jamie Woodman were initially announced as the team captains for Team North and Team South respectively.[109] Schlamp was later replaced by Brian Funes of the Sydney Bears due to injury.[110] The Sydney Bears' Ron Kuprowsky was named as Team North coach and Perth Thunder's David Ruck as coach of Team South.[109] The weekend ran alongside the 2019 Ice Hockey Classic, an exhibition series featuring players from Canada and the United States.[108]
The skills competition, originally organised for Friday 14 June was cancelled along with the Ice Hockey Classic match between the United States and Canada.[111] As such, a cut down version of the skills competition involving just two of the originally planned events was contested on Saturday 15 June before the start of the 2019 All-Stars match. Jesse Gabrielle of the CBR Brave won the fastest skater competition. Danick Gauthier of the Sydney Bears won the hardest shot competition. Team North defeated Team South 11-9 in the All-Stars match and Perth Thunder's Keven Veilleux claimed the Mick McCormack Cup after being named the most valuable player.[112]

- Fastest Skater: Jesse Gabrielle (CBR Brave) - 12.97 seconds[113]
