SPRINGFIELD, Mass. ... The American Hockey League and Syracuse Crunch have unveiled the logo for the 2016 Toyota AHL All-Star Classic, which will be held in Syracuse, N.Y., on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1.

The 2016 Toyota AHL All-Star Classic logo features the War Memorial Arena centered in a circular patch surrounded by stars and lettering. The ice block lettering ties in the design of the Crunch logo and gives a retro feel that reflects to the last time Syracuse hosted the AHL All-Star Classic in 1998. In addition, the All-Star title is separated by a small outline of New York State, home to five of the 30 AHL teams. This year's logo also contains Toyota, which is the title sponsor of the 2016 Toyota AHL All-Star Classic and official car of the Syracuse Crunch.

Ticket prices range from $40-60 and can be purchased either in person at the Syracuse Crunch Office located in the War Memorial Arena at 800 South State Street in Syracuse, by calling (315) 473-4444 or through all Ticketmaster outlets.
