It is All Star season in hockey. Yesterday the NHL announced their All Star players. Another All Star Game on the schedule is the CHL Top Prospects Game. The game will be played February 1st in Kelowna BC. It consists of CHL players who are eligible for the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. The teams are divided into a Red Team (historically called Team Cherry) and a White Team (historically called Team Orr). The Red Team will be coached by former NHL player Mark Recchi and the White Team coached by Pat Quinn.

This All Star Game is unusual because it is not a spectacle. The players want to play hard to better establish their ranking in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. It is always an interesting game because it is our first chance for most fans to see many of these draft prospects play.
