OHL Announces All-Star Rosters
Published on January 14, 2004 under Ontario Hockey League (OHL) News Release
Peterborough - The Ontario Hockey League announced today the roster of players who will compete in the 2004 OHL All-Star Classic on Tuesday January 27, 2004 at the Peterborough Memorial Centre.
The rosters were selected by the management teams of Mike Vellucci, Plymouth Whalers and Mike Futa, Owen Sound (Western Conference) and George Burnett, Oshawa Generals and Ken Cook, Mississauga IceDogs (Eastern Conference). The teams will be coached by Peter DeBoer, who guided the Kitchener Rangers to OHL and Memorial Cup championships last year, and Hockey Hall of Fame member Brian Kilrea, who coached the Ottawa 67's to the Eastern Conference championship last year.
The rosters include seven players who won a silver medal with Team Canada at the World Junior Championships earlier this month, including Anthony Stewart of the Kingston Frontenacs, who tied for the tournament lead with 11 points and team captain Daniel Paille of the Guelph Storm. Patrick O'Sullivan of the Mississauga IceDogs and James Wisniewski of the Plymouth Whalers, who helped the U.S.A. to their first gold medal win, will also participate in the game, along with Petr Kanko of the Kitchener Rangers, who represented the Czech Republic.
Wojtek Wolski of the Brampton Battalion, the OHL's top rated prospect for the upcoming NHL Draft, will also represent the Eastern Conference, along with Corey Locke of the Ottawa 67's, the CHL Player of the Year in 2002-03.
"The player's who were named today to represent the Ontario Hockey League in our All-Star Game demonstrate the high level of talent that we have playing in our league," said David Branch, Commissioner of the OHL. "The selection committee faced some very difficult decisions in putting this team together and we are very proud to be represented by these young men at this very special event. We are also looking forward to hosting the All-Star Game in the newly refurbished Peterborough Memorial Centre. This new facility reflects the commitment and support of the Peterborough Petes by the entire community and we are very proud to bring this showcase event to the City of Peterborough."
