Springfield Falcons leading scorer Rob Schremp scored twice at the AHL All-Star Classic on Monday night, including one goal in regulation and one marker in the shootout. Schremp's PlanetUSA squad lost to the Canadian AHL All-Stars in a shootout by a score of 9-8 in Binghamton, NY.

Schremp, who is a native of Syracuse, NY, made his AHL All-Star debut this past weekend just a short drive from his hometown and the second-year pro had several friends and family attending the festivities.

Schremp had a stretch of games where he registered at least a point in 13 out of 14 games from November 17-December 15. He has also recorded a pair of overtime game-winning goals this season, the first occurring on Sunday, October 7 against Manchester and the second happening on Wednesday, November 28 at Providence.

The 5-foot-11, 200-pound forward is in his second season of professional hockey after spending the majority of last season with the AHL's Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. In 69 games with Wilkes-Barre during the 2006-07 campaign, Schremp totaled 17 goals and 36 assists for 53 points ranking third on the team in scoring, just three points shy of the team lead in points. Schremp made his NHL debut as a member of the Edmonton Oilers on April 5, 2007 against the Minnesota Wild.

Before turning pro, Schremp led the Ontario Hockey League in scoring during the 2005-06 season collecting 57 goals and 88 assists for 145 points. He finished a very impressive junior career with 384 career points in 247 games, including 90 points in 54 post-season contests. Schremp played for Team USA in both the 2004-05 and 2005-06 World Junior Championships.
