BISMARCK, ND-Four Bismarck Bobcats have been selected to participate in the NAHL's Top Prospects Tournament, which will be held February 17th and 18th at the Troy Sports Center in Troy, Michigan.
Stanislav Dzakhov (Moscow, Russia), Huba Sekesi (Munich, Germany), Filip Starzynski (Warsaw, Poland) and Aaron Nelson (Bismarck, ND) were selected to join players from the NAHL's Central Division for one of five teams in the event.

Starzynski, despite missing 15 games to injury, is fourth on the team in scoring with 28 points on 12 goals and 16 assists. His three game-winners continues to lead the Bobcats, despite his lengthy absence.
Sekesi has anchored the most successful Bobcat line during Starzynski's absence, and has 27 points on 11 goals and 16 assists.
Nelson has worked more minutes than any NAHL goalie this season (2214:08), and has consistently been among the leaders in his field. His 23 wins is second-most in the league. He currently boasts a 2.30 goals-against-average and a .918 saves percentage.
Along with the four Bobcats chosen to play in the tournament, Bobcat head coach Layne Sedevie has been chosen as an assistant coach for the Central Division's team.
