GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - The American Hockey League announced on Thursday that Grand Rapids Griffins defenseman Xavier Ouellet has been selected to play for the Central Division AHL All-Star Team at the 2016 Toyota AHL All-Star Classic, to be held on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 at War Memorial Arena in Syracuse, N.Y.
Each of the AHL's four divisions will be represented by 13 players: seven forwards, four defensemen and two goaltenders. Rosters were determined by committees of AHL coaches, and all 30 AHL teams are represented by at least one All-Star.
Ouellet joins Jeff Hoggan on the all-star team, after the Griffins' captain was named as a playing captain on Tuesday.
