[RIO RANCHO, N.M.]-Scorpions defenseman Aaron MacInnis has been named to the CHL All-Star Team. He will join the other CHL All-Stars on January 14th to play the Colorado Eagles.

This is the first time in his career MacInnis has been named an all-star. The Port Hood, N.S. native will be the lone Scorpion represented at this year's game.

"I am honored to be selected for the team," said MacInnis. "It should be a great experience and one I am looking forward to."

Through 29 games, MacInnis has scored 24 points (5G, 19A) and amassed 59 penalty minutes. The Scorpions captain is fourth among CHL defensemen in points and is tied for the lead in power play assists with 12.

"This is well deserved for Aaron to receive this honor," said head coach Randy Murphy. "He is one of the best two-way defensemen in this league and is a great leader for our team in the locker room as well."

MacInnis is in his third season with the Scorpions and with his goal against Odessa on December 28th, scored his 100th point as a Scorpion. He is only one of four defensemen to score at least 100 points in a Scorpions sweater.

The Scorpions will finish the calendar year with their annual New Year's Eve affair in Arizona. The game can be heard on 610 The Sports Animal starting at 7:35 p.m.

New Mexico returns to home ice this weekend for a pair of games. Friday is Chris Robertson bobblehead night courtesy of Santa Ana Star Casino. The first 1,500 fans will get this great giveaway when the Scorps host Rocky Mountain starting at 7:15 p.m.
