Over the last two days, the AHL has named their All Star Game rosters. The game will be played January 26th in Worchester, Massachusetts. It pits the AHL all stars from Canada (Team Canada) against those from the rest of the world (Planet USA). All Star Teams have 24 players each with 13 forwards, 8 defencemen and 3 goalies on each. It is an interesting game because it is a chance to see many future NHL players in one place.
Here are the rosters:
Team Canada
Goaltenders
Mike Brodeur Rochester
Barry Brust Houston
Brian Elliott Binghamton (starter)
Defencemen
Johnny Boychuk Providence (starter)
Kyle Cumisky Lake Erie

One of the interesting stories is that Rory Fitzpatrick, famous for a failed 2007 write-in campaign to be an NHL All Star starter is the Planet USA captain.
To get an idea what becomes of AHL All Stars, here is last year’s roster. It included current NHLers like Derick Brassard, Nigel Dawes and Bobby Ryan (among others).
