Calgary, AB - Calgary Roughnecks captain Tracey Kelusky was today named to represent the West in the National Lacrosse League's All-Star game in Toronto on February 25.
Kelusky will start on a line with Gavin Prout of Colorado and Craig Conn of the Arizona Sting. Jay Jalbert, Colorado, and rookie Brodie Merrill, Portland are the starting defenders, and Anthony Cosmo, San Jose, is the West's No. 1 goalie.

Kelusky was named MVP of last year's All-Star game held here in Calgary.
In six games for Calgary this season, he has registered 27 points (14 goals, 13 assists), second only to Lewis Ratcliff who has 28 (13 goals, 15 assists).
The East Division First Team is:
Forwards: John Tavares, Buffalo; John Grant, Rochester, and Colin Doyle, Toronto
Defenders: Steve Toll, Rochester, and Thomas Hajek, Philadelphia
Goalie: Pat O'Toole, Rochester
The remainder of the two All-Star teams will be released tomorrow (Tuesday, February 14).
