The only captain that the New York Riveters have ever known is, finally, an All-Star.
The day after the four players voted in by fans were announced, two more All-Star selections chosen by the media were revealed today. Both skaters were Canadian-born: Kelly Babstock and Ashley Johnston.
From the NWHL’s press release:
Forward Kelly Babstock of the Connecticut Whale and defender Ashley Johnston of the New York Riveters have been chosen by a select panel of reporters to participate in the NWHL’s 2017 All-Star Weekend in Pittsburgh on Feb. 11-12.
Babstock leads the NWHL in scoring with 6 goals and 6 assists for 12 points.
