To evaluate the impact of these changes, the AHL is asking fans to take a minute or two to take part in an online survey at the following link http://www.theahl.com/AHL/fansurvey.html.

AHL ALL-STAR BALLOTING UNDER WAY

2005 Dodge AHL All-Star Classic Fan Balloting, presented by CCM, is under way exclusively on the official website of the AHL, www.theahl.com.
