Colorado Eagles News Release


WINDSOR, CO. - The American Hockey League has announced the rosters for the 2025 AHL All-Star Classic presented by Spotlight 29 Casino and Colorado Eagles defenseman Jacob MacDonald will help represent the Pacific Division at the event on February 2nd and 3rd at Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California.

MacDonald has posted nine goals and 11 assists through his first 27 games of the season, as his nine goals are currently tied for the lead among all AHL blueliners, while 89 shots also pace the league's defensemen. This will mark the 31-year-old's second appearance at the AHL All-Star Classic, after earning a spot during the 2017-18 season with the Binghamton Devils, a campaign which saw him lead all AHL defensemen in both goals (20) and points (55). In addition, he was also named to the AHL's year-end All-Star Team in both 2018 and 2020.

The Portland, Oregon native has amassed 213 points in 304 career AHL games and has also collected 10 goals and 17 assists in 135 NHL contests with the Colorado Avalanche, San Jose Sharks and Florida Panthers.

The 2025 AHL All-Star Classic presented by Spotlight 29 Casino will include the AHL All-Star Skills Competition presented by Silvercrest on Sunday, February 2 (9 ET/6 PT), followed by the AHL Hall of Fame Induction and Awards Ceremony presented by Spotlight 29 Casino and Silvercrest on Monday, February 3 (2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT) and the 2025 AHL All-Star Challenge presented by Spotlight 29 Casino that evening (9 ET/6 PT).
