Four Monarchs named to AHL All-Star Classic

0 Comments

While we’re on the subject of the All-Star Game, there was this piece of information, which surfaced yesterday: Jordan Weal, Nick Shore, Brian O’Neill and Colin Miller will represent the Eastern Conference at the 2015 AHL All-Star Classic, which like the NHL All-Star Game will take place the weekend of January 25-26. The AHL event will be held at the Utica Memorial Auditorium, home of the Utica Comets (Vancouver Canucks).

While Manchester led all AHL teams with four players selected, there was the curious omission of J.F. Berube, who is 19-4-2 with a 1.99 goals-against average and .923 save percentage for the Monarchs, who lead the AHL with 52 points. The bemusement was shared by the club’s hockey operations staff when we chatted yesterday, though there was pride in the fact that four skaters will represent the team on a high stage.
