PLYMOUTH, MI - Lumberjacks alternate captain and three-year defenseman, Danny Klaers (Wayzata, MN) has been named to the 2026 Chipotle All-American Game this Thursday at USA Hockey Arena. Klaers joins 3 teammates and 4 Jacks staff members at the event.

"Danny is everything you want in a defenseman - a leader, a competitor, and a winner" said Colten St. Clair, Head Coach of the Lumberjacks.

Klaers made his USHL debut in March 2024 as an affiliate player for the Jacks, but was a difference maker in the lineup from the get-go. A big piece of the 2025 Clark Cup Championship, he is quickly approaching his 100th career USHL game.

"He has earned this opportunity through consistency, maturity, and a relentless approach to the game. We're proud to see him selected for the All-American Game, and any team would be lucky to have a player with his character and impact." St. Clair finished.

Through a season with lots of rotation on the blue line, Klaers has been a steady presence for the Lumberjacks with 14 points in 21 games this season. Just before the turn of the calendar, Klaers joined Team USA at the 2025 World Junior A Challenge, helping them to a Gold Medal.

The Chipotle All-American Game is a 2-day event starting with player testing on Wednesday and the game on Thursday night at 7 p.m. at USA Hockey Arena. The game will be broadcast live on NHL Network, with coverage on both days, on the Lumberjacks' social media channels.
