Canadian All-Stars Ryan O'Byrne of Hamilton (Montreal) and Joel Perrault of San Antonio (Phoenix) will miss the event due to recall to their respective National Hockey League affiliates.
Locke, 23, currently leads the Bulldogs in goals (14), assists (18) and points (32) while skating in 37 AHL games. The native of Newmarket, Ont., also led Hamilton with 22 points in 22 games during the 2007 postseason, leading the Bulldogs to their first Calder Cup championship.
