The 2017 NWHL All-Star Game will take place in Pittsburgh at the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex on February 11th and 12th.
Kelley Steadman and Amanda Kessel have been designated as the captains for this year’s ASG because of their connections to the Pittsburgh area.
“I’m excited and honored to be part of this year’s NWHL All-Star Game, and it’s especially awesome to have it in the city where my brother has found a new home and success,” said Kessel.
“I’ve been lucky to experience first-hand what a great hockey town Pittsburgh is. To be able to showcase the talented hockey players of the NWHL to the passionate fans of Pittsburgh is going to be a lot of fun and a great opportunity to expand our fan base.
