The American Hockey League announced today the rosters for the 2016 AHL All-Star Classic. Canucks prospect forward Hunter Shinkaruk, selected 24th-overall in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, was named to the North Division roster to represent the Utica Comets and the Vancouver Canucks organization.
Instead of the traditional format, the AHL will also play a four-team 3-on-3 tournament.
Full North Division roster:
Coach Sheldon Keefe (Marlies)
G Yann Danis (Devils)
G Kristers Gudlevskis (Crunch)
D Mark Barberio (IceCaps)
D T.J. Brennan (Marlies)
D Michael Kostka (Senators)
D Matt Taormina (Crunch)
F Mike Angelidis (Crunch)
F Josh Leivo (Marlies)
F Michael McCarron (IceCaps)
F William Nylander (Marlies)
F Cal O’Reilly (Americans)
F Hunter Shinkaruk (Comets)
F Mike Sislo (Devils)
Shinkaruk is the lone Comet selected for the event, which comes to no one’s surprise, as the Comets are not having a great season.
