The American Hockey League added Jake Dowell to the Western Conference AHL All-Star roster on Tuesday. The All-Star Classic will be held from Jan. 31 to Feb. 1 at Onodaga County War Memorial Arena in Syracuse, N.Y, home of the Syracuse Crunch.
Dowell, 30, leads the Rockford IceHogs with 24 points and is tied for the team lead in assists with 17. The Rockford captain joins right winger Ryan Hartman and goaltender Michael Leighton as All-Star nods. It's the first time in the IceHogs' eight year history in the AHL the team has sent three players to the Midseason Classic.
