(Toledo, Ohio) The Toledo Storm of the ECHL announced today that Defenseman Gerry Burke has been selected to the 2005-06 ECHL American Conference All-Star Team.
Burke makes the ECHL All-Star game for Burke in his first professional season. Burke has appeared in all 25 games for the Storm this season, and has 14 points (4g, 10a). Burke did score 2 of his 4 goals in back-to-back games on December 9th and 10th this season. Gerry is currently tied with Storm forward Adam Keefe for the best plus/minus on the team with a plus 5. In his four-year career at Brown, Gerry totaled 6 goals, 15 assists, and 135 penalty minutes. Gerry appeared in three preseason games with the American Hockey League's Peoria Rivermen.
